Bertha Bench
This is the first in a series of benches from my Nantucket shop that feature laminated Bamboo and hardwood supports along with a matching slab seating surface. The wood is Padouk. The bench is completed with stainless steel leveling feet and stainless barrels and bolts. Although Bertha is a study in simple forms, there are many influences at work: Contemporary, Mid-Century, Modern and even a little Industrial. The Bertha Bench will be equally at home in a Modern or Transitional environment. I could picture it in your Living Room , Front Hallway or Office. Padouk is a wood that, with age, will turn a gorgeous reddish, purple, brown. Bertha is 35 1/2"L X 14 3/4"D X 18"H and finished with an acrylic varnish.
