Product description
Our cat (not for sale) is demonstrating here a large vintage plywood café bench or station bench, marked Schauman Made In Finland Jyväskylä. Schauman was a factory in Jyväskylä, Finland, where plywood furniture was made in the Thonet tradition. The bench is likely from the 1960s and made of birch wood (?), and is in reasonable condition, except for the four thin seats: they are a bit wobbly. You can still sit on it, but it would be best to knock out the seats and replace them – we had a sturdy cushion placed across the entire width to distribute the weight, and that worked fine. The backrest is still nice and the bench is otherwise quite sturdy, but could use a sanding. The photos don't do the furniture justice! It is very difficult to photograph… Please note: bidding starts at € 100. Dimensions: 200cm wide height with backrest: 93.5cm seat height: 46.5cm depth: 49.5cm To be picked up in Antwerp Berchem, right off the ring road. bentwood, plywood, midcentury, mid century, Scandinavian, Swedish design, Finnish design, Danish design, 50s, 60s, Thonet, Eames, Vitra, school desk, bar bench, station bench, waiting room bench, station, Aalto And now for the AI ​​description! This is an authentic wooden bench by the Finnish manufacturer Schauman, produced in the 1960s. The design exudes the functional and robust aesthetic of mid-century Scandinavian design, ideal as a waiting room bench or station bench. The bench is entirely made of wood with a warm, brown finish that beautifully highlights the natural grain. The furniture is constructed from sturdy wooden panels and a solid frame, ensuring a durable structure. The clean lines and minimalist silhouette are characteristic of the production period in Finland. The bench is in good vintage condition and has developed a beautiful, lived-in character over the years. The original finish displays an authentic patina that contributes to the charm of the furniture. This piece comes into its own perfectly in a spacious hall, a conservatory, or as a characterful addition to a long dining table. It fits perfectly in interiors with a penchant for Scandinavian design, vintage elements, or a rustic, industrial atmosphere.
