The Lauder Bench
The Lauder bench is a beautiful piece of design that is crafted to the absolute highest quality. Designed to please not just aesthetically and functionally, this bench is also extremely tactile and an absolute pleasure to sit on and interact with.
Constructed out of oak and using traditional joinery methods this bench is built to provide a long service to its owner. This mixed with the modern feel and look of this piece mean it’s a real mix of the old and the new.
The base is made of sections of chunky oak cut to shape then joined using mortice and tenons joints secured with drawbored pegs to form the support sections. Each slat is then handmade and shaped before being rounded off which gives everything a lovely smooth feel. The slats are then fixed to the base one at a time using Iroko dowel which is then wedged into place using small oak wedges. Giving a finished piece that is extremely sturdy and completely constructed from timber without any glues or fixings.
