Oh, ye bench that costs as much as my first car--times 16... you are not only gorgeous, but are carved from sustainably-harvested walnut, too.
Pieter VanTuyl, of Grand Rapids Michigan, truly gets it. We love how he not only incorporates organic shapes, design eras past, and sustainability into his limited and precise collection, but that he also practices handcrafting on the majority of his pieces.
Shown above: the table bench. "Ornamented walnut backrest features carving filled by hand with molten, pigmented beeswax. Available in various sustainable species depending on supply.
55"w 21"d 16"h (seat) 30"h (back) List price $8,800"
p.s. Pieter, you have a cool name.
p.p.s. Make sure you check out the $430 individually-braided Shaker broom.
