Provincial Garden Bench

This provincial bench from China's Shanxi province features a plank-top surface supported by gently splayed legs with simple stretcher bars. Constructed with mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques, without the use of nails or screws, the broad bench has a balanced form and timeless rustic appeal. Highlighting the raw texture of nothern elmwood, this piece adds farmhouse charm to modern interiors as a bench or coffee table.
