The Lyndon Bouclé Entryway Bench

Cream bouclé, nubbed and soft, set on wood that has been scored back to the grain.

This is a hallway piece — the spot where shoes come off and keys land. It works the same in an entrance foyer or a laundry room, wherever a room needs somewhere to perch.

The seat is upholstered in cream bouclé; the base is brown solid wood carrying a purposeful distressed finish of wood scoring and rub-through, so the contrast between soft top and worked base is the point. Hand crafted, and rated for commercial use.

Style it under a row of hooks with a mirror above — the pale bouclé lifts a dark hallway without needing another light.

The first thing you touch coming in, and the last thing you sit on going out.
