A sculptural outdoor bench made to sit around an established tree, creating a place to pause, meet and enjoy the garden from different viewpoints.
Rather than forming a continuous circle, the bench is made as a series of individual seats which follow the changing shape of the trunk. Each section has its own gently irregular outline, developed from the natural form and grain of the timber, while together they create a loose, flowing arrangement around the tree.
The seats are shaped by hand, with softly rounded edges and a deliberately tactile finish. Simple round legs give the piece a lightness, while contrasting wedged joints remain visible as part of the construction.
Designed specifically for its setting, the bench allows the tree to remain central, proving shade or shelter for an individual or small gathering. The individual seats are connected together with strong stainless steel bar, adding a discreet contemporary touch. Thought is given to the trunk and its roots, giving the tree space to grow.
This approach can be adapted as a bespoke commission for individual trees, gardens, fire-pits, and landscapes, with the form, scale and choice of timber developed in response to each particular site.
