dBodhi Alpha Bench

The dBodhi Alpha Bench at 260cm is built on solid reclaimed twin teak beam legs, standing 47cm high. It pairs with the 260cm Alpha dining table. Also works as a hallway or end-of-bed piece.

A bench seats more people per metre than chairs do, because nobody is allocated a fixed width. At 260cm that means squeezing in an extra person at a crowded meal is simply a matter of everyone shuffling along, which no set of dining chairs allows.

That flexibility is the strongest argument for benches over chairs in a household that entertains unpredictably. When not needed at the table, 260cm of bench is a serious length for a hallway, providing a long surface for bags and a place to put shoes on. The reclaimed twin teak beams give it enough visual weight to hold a wall on its own rather than looking like a stray piece of dining furniture parked there.
