Corner Bar medium black satin ash bench

*Please note that as every bench is handmade to order, delivery will be in 12-14 weeks*

In a smooth black satin finish, this this 2-seater medium bench is handcrafted to order by Goldfinger from locally salvaged wood, in their North Kensington studio workshop.

As seen in The Corner café at Tate Modern, the bench matches the medium ash table, also made by Goldfinger. The rounded edges of the bench echo those of the table, creating a softness that eliminates any harshness from its minimalist aesthetic, but it works just as well as a single piece of statement hallway, lounge or office furniture.

Cleverly designed to make the most from its source materials (trees felled because of disease, overgrowth or development in London and the surrounding areas), the bench is stamped with the GPS co-ordinates of where the tree it was carved from once stood. The chic black satin colourway is exclusively available from Tate Shop. The Corner cafe collection was collaboratively designed by Goldfinger, Tate, and Holland Harvey.

The medium-sized bench measures 120 x 35 x 45 cm, perfect for two people.

Goldfinger is an award-winning social enterprise, with a focus on community, sustainability, and traditional craftsmanship. They use their profits to fund their teaching academy, where they teach traditional joinery skills and sustainable design, preserving these valuable skills for the future and providing much needed jobs, training and a strong community of makers.

Please be aware that as each bench is made to order, we regret that we are unable to offer refunds or cancellations after production has begun, unless the item is faulty.

The bench is a solid piece of quality furniture, making it a large and heavy item that cannot be dismantled for delivery. You are responsible for making sure that the piece that you’ve ordered will fit into your property and the room you intend to use it in upon delivery. If you would like help ensuring this, an access check can be provided for an extra fee of £80, which will be deducted from the cost of your item should you decide to proceed with an order. An access inspector will attend your property and make sure that the measurements of your entrances, corridors, doorways and stairs are compatible with delivery and installation of your table, so you can order with confidence. Contact our customer services team at shop@tate.org.uk if you’d like us to arrange a visit.
