Crate Dinning Bench

Originally designed to utilize surplus wooden shipping crates by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld in 1934, the Crate collection has been relaunched as part of a Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration. Manufactured with respect for the original design, the Crate dining bench shares the same precisely balanced proportions and transparent construction to minimize production costs and optimize the assembly process. The bench's classic design features a gently sloping back and seat with supportive armrests, its simplicity and spatial design reflecting the designer's architectural principles - offering functionality and comfort without absorbing space. Made from solid pine, with a water-based lacquer finish in a range of color options, the Crate dining bench is suitable for a multitude of outdoor environments and can be complemented by optional seat cushions in selected textiles for added comfort.
