Bench Mary – Simplicity, elevated to an art form.

Bench Mary embodies a quiet sophistication, a piece that doesn’t need to shout to be noticed. With its crisp silhouette, elegant proportions, and refined materials, Mary serves as both a functional seat and a visual anchor in any space it inhabits.

This is minimalism with character, where every line, seam, and proportion is designed to create calm, clarity, and presence.

A Versatile Form for Every Setting

Mary’s strength lies in its adaptability. The streamlined design features a fully upholstered seat, framed by softly contoured edges and supported by a sturdy, understated base. Its proportions are thoughtfully scaled to work across different rooms and design styles, from classic interiors to the most contemporary layouts.

Whether placed at the end of a bed, in a hallway, behind a sofa, or used as dining bench seating, Mary brings ease, elegance, and quiet structure.

Comfort You Can Count On

Though minimal in form, Bench Mary offers maximum comfort. The seat is generously padded with high-resilience foam, ensuring lasting support for everyday use, whether you’re perching briefly or sitting for extended periods.

Its subtle softness encourages rest, while the supportive structure beneath ensures it retains its shape and integrity over time, even in high-traffic or hospitality environments.

Tailored Upholstery, Thoughtful Materiality

Bench Mary is available in our curated selection of house fabrics, from linen weaves to soft performance velvets and durable bouclé textures. Each fabric has been hand-selected to complement Mary’s restrained form while offering both durability and beauty.

For bespoke projects, Mary can be upholstered in COM (Customer’s Own Material). Our studio provides full support for swatch selection, finish pairing, and large-scale application across multiple benches or rooms.

A Subtle Statement in Any Interior

Bench Mary integrates beautifully into a variety of settings:

• At the foot of a bed in residential suites or hotel rooms

• Along dining tables in curated open-plan spaces

• In entryways or halls as a transitional anchor

• Paired with mirrors or artwork in dressing areas

• As a floating piece behind sofas or under large windows

Its simplicity allows it to enhance, not compete with, the elements around it. A foundational piece with room for personal expression.
