The story

For the foot of the bed, or the long side of the dining table.

A backless bench is useful in more rooms than most seats. At the foot of the bed it holds tomorrow's clothes and a folded throw; at the dining table it sits along one side and seats the children; by the front door it is where you sit to pull on boots. The Beaubourg suits all three, 52 inches long and 18 high, with no back or arms in the way.

Its seat is ivory white bouclé, shaped into nine rounded channels that run from front to back, so it looks soft from across the room and feels it when you sit down. It rests in a thin wood frame on two wide, flat slab legs in a light, weathered finish, a quiet base that leaves the bouclé to be noticed.

The design

Three details that make the Beaubourg.

The Beaubourg is a soft seat on a plain wooden base. These three details explain the channels, the legs and the size.

Nine Rounded Channels

Dimensions

Will it fit?

Width 52″ 132 cm
Depth 17″ 43 cm
Height 18″ 46 cm

Planning tip. The Beaubourg is 52" (132 cm) wide, 17" (43 cm) deep and 18" (46 cm) high. A queen mattress is 60" (152 cm) wide and a king 76" (193 cm), so it sits at the foot of either with space at each side; leave 2" to 4" (5 to 10 cm) between the bench and the bed frame. At a dining table 28" to 30" (71 to 76 cm) high, the 18" seat sits at the usual chair height; to push it under the table, check that the apron clears 18" (46 cm). In an entryway, allow a wall of about 5 ft (152 cm).

Wood, in a light, weathered finish. The two legs are wide, flat slabs, 12" high, set in from each end under a thin wood frame in the same finish.

Can I use it at a dining table?

Yes. The seat is 18" (46 cm) high, the usual height for a dining chair, and the bench has no back, so it sits along one side of the table. Check that the table's apron clears 18" if you want to push it underneath.
