Icon By Design offers solid wood benches made from sustainably sourced oak and walnut. Each piece is carefully constructed by artisans in the Scandinavian style. Our indoor benches are the perfect addition to your dining room, and here is the best part - because we are a family-run business, we cut out the middlemen so you pay factory-direct prices. So take a look at our collection and find the perfect natural wood bench for your home.
When it comes to comparing the types of wood for furniture, nothing beats solid wood. Solid wood is made from real timber, milled directly from trees. While it may seem redundant to say that the timber is made from real trees, there are valid reasons why we stress this. A lot of ‘wood’ furniture is made from engineered wood.
Engineered wood is an artificial, composite material that is made by binding fibres, strands, and other wood by-products with adhesives. The difference between engineered and solid wood is so vast that the Federal Trade Commission prohibits marketing furniture as ‘solid wood’ unless it fulfils their criteria.
Solid wood has the same structure and consistency all the way through and is 100% natural. Icon By Design’s benches are made from sustainably harvested American oak or walnut and that means that our solid wood benches are:
Additionally, each solid wood bench has a unique structure, reflecting the tree it was made from. As every tree has a distinctive pattern, grain, and tone, so will your bench, only comparable to another two or three pieces of furniture that are made from the same tree. And as the bench ages and acquires a patina, the patterns and wood grain only become more distinguishable.
Another advantage of solid wood benches is how easy they are to care for. All you need to do is clean yours with a microfiber or cotton cloth and prevent it from soaking in liquids. You should also avoid exposing your bench to direct sunlight for a long period of time to prevent it from darkening.
Our solid wood benches are made in the Scandinavian style by renowned design houses like Olivia and Magnus. Scandinavian benches are characterized by minimalism and practicality. They have no overly elaborate design elements that can be hard to match with other pieces of furniture. Each Scandinavian bench is characterized by elegance in simplicity.
