The perfect marriage of material and design, this gorgeous bench plays off the swirling grain and knots of solid walnut in the exuberant curves of the carved cloud spandrels and gentle taper of its round, ladder-style legs. Traditionally Chinese benches had a low profile, but during the Qing dynasty higher designs influenced by European versions came into fashion. Although stools or chairs remained the more common seating option in homes, benches were often found in public theaters or temples.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
