Thakeham Bench

The Thakeham seat pictured here in English Oak was designed for the garden at Little Thakeham near Storrington, West Sussex. The rhythmical symmetry of the bench is typical of Lutyens's love of form. The bench has become an archytypal design in its own right and has sadly, for many,lost its association with Lutyens. It is made all over the world to varying degress of quality (absense thereof). There are no makers of this bench other than LFL that are authorised by the Lutyens family.

The bench is available in 8' or 6' versions. Pictured here is the 8' version.
