Sled-Shaped Benches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Sleigh Outdoor Benches are Scandinavian-Inspired

— June 13, 2013 — Art & Design
If you long for the colder seasons, these sled-inspired outdoor benches will remind you all year long of one of the most famous winter pastimes: sledding. Made from high-quality birch wood, these outdoor benches feature a creative curved 'C'-shaped design that offers users an artistic place to sit.

The Sleigh Bench is constructed from six long slabs of birch wood that have been expertly curved upwards. Unlike conventional park benches, the Sleigh Bench doesn't have a back support and can only fit one or two people. The bench seat also includes an adorable knitted blue cushion with a winter wonderland snowflake pattern inspired by the colder months in Nordic countries. Another neat feature of the minimalist Sleigh Bench is the wood portion underneath the seat would be a great place to store drinks, books and other nick-knacks.
