Description
Design. With an elegantly splayed base with a matt black, painted finish, the Modi Bench has a wonderful industrial style, combining a natural reclaimed wood top and brushed brass capped legs. Perfect for dining areas and hallways, the Modi has a simplistic design that oozes charm and adds character to any space. For an inspiring finishing touch, drape a thick throw in neutral tones over the seat for both comfort and style.
Our Stylist Says
I love the rustic charm of this bench - it’s a versatile piece that works equally well in both modern and traditional interiors. The reclaimed wood top adds warmth and character, making it perfect for entryways, dining areas, or even as additional seating in a living space. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with metal or leather accents for an industrial look, or with soft textiles like cushions for a cosy feel. It’s practical too - the sturdy construction makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, and it can double up as a coffee table or a display surface. Keep the styling simple to let the natural beauty of the wood shine through, and it’ll add an effortless, lived-in touch to your scheme.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
