Description
The frame of our Amhara bench is crafted from acacia wood, which has a warm natural grain. The woven jute seat follows a traditional Indian pattern and adds a softness to the bench’s aesthetic. This bench would sit well at the foot of the bed or as a place to put on shoes in a hallway. Its natural textures will make it a calming and tactile addition to your home. | nkuku Amhara Acacia & Jute Woven Bench | Seating | Natural
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Amhara bench for its warm acacia frame and tactile jute weave - it brings an unfussy, natural feel that works equally well in Scandi, boho or coastal-inspired spaces. Its slim profile makes it ideal for a hallway, at the end of a bed or alongside a simple dining table where you want flexible seating without bulk.
Styling-wise, layer a textured cushion or two in muted tones to soften the seat, and tuck a low basket underneath for scarves or throws. In a dining setup, mix it with chairs in complementary woods and metal for a relaxed, collected look. It also makes a handy perch by a console table - just add a slim cushion and a vase of foliage to complete the vignette.
