Story

A bench for the Betty series

The 2020 press release presents the bench as an extension of the stackable Betty chair, keeping the chair's distinctive features and sturdy construction. Its solid oak frame echoes the wooden pavilion of the theatre the series is named after.

The exposed seat

The webbing is not hidden under the frame: the designers exposed it, and the release describes the result as a soft, cushioned seat of natural linen straps woven by hand.
