Vintage Wave-Shaped Benches in Walnut, 1950s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

These two benches, most likely crafted in the 1950s or 1960s, exhibit a timeless design that speaks to their era. Originally serving in the public deeds registry office in Bologna, as indicated by the small metal tag stating "uff registroatti pubblici Bologna" affixed to the sidebeam, these benches were designed to accommodate the public while they conducted official business. Their solid construction and thoughtful design make them functional yet aesthetically pleasing pieces of furniture.

Design
The material used for these benches is walnut, a wood known for its strength and rich, warm tones. The natural beauty of the walnut is enhanced by the two-tone veneering, a technique that deserves particular attention. The contrasting shades of walnut veneer are arranged in a striped pattern, adding depth and visual interest to the benches. This careful selection and application of veneer not only showcases the wood's inherent qualities but also highlights the craftsmanship involved in their creation.The benches’ design is both elegant and practical, with gently curved seats and backrests that offer comfort, while the armrests and sturdy legs provide support and stability. The use of walnut, combined with the two-tone veneering, reflects the mid-century modern aesthetic, which favored simplicity, functionality, and natural materials. These benches are not just pieces of furniture but are historical artifacts that tell the story of their time and place, adding a layer of cultural significance to their already impressive craftsmanship.

Condition
They are fully restored in our workshop while maintaining patina and little signs of aging that contribute to the character and beauty of these lovely benches.
