Ealing bench

These benches were created for St. Mary’s Church in Ealing, commissioned by Ealing Council. Their design is simple yet refined, crafted from locally sourced, sustainable oak.

With each of these 2 benches, the front and back seat rails are steam-bent, with slats carefully inserted between them, providing stability to the structure. The legs, made from 4cm-thick oak, ensure strength and durability. Each bench measures 2 meters in diameter, with a 1-meter central gap to accommodate tree growth.

The final image depicts a large horseshoe-shaped bench set on a stone base in the churchyard. I was commissioned to design and craft wooden seating to complement the stone structure. This seating follows the same aesthetic as the two freestanding benches, featuring steam-bent front and back seat rails with slats fitted between them.

Guide price for one Ealing bench £7000
