The Keane Bench from Four Hands is a long, low plank of reclaimed elm set on chunky arched legs. The knots and grain of the wood stay visible beneath a black finish, so no two benches read quite the same. The seat is a flat wooden platform, and levelers in the feet keep it steady on uneven floors.
The arched legs give the bench a heavy, sculptural base, and the rectangular outline stays clean and quiet above them. It sits somewhere between rustic and modern, a salvaged material cut into a plain shape. Black elm pairs well with plaster walls, brick, woven baskets, and brass, and it belongs to the Keane suite, which also includes a console and a desk.
Set it in an entryway for pulling on boots, or at the foot of a bed for folded blankets and a morning pair of socks. It runs long enough to seat two and works as a hallway perch or a low surface under a window. A stack of books, a pair of baskets, or a row of shoes tucked beneath the seat all suit it.
