Sharp List: Book/Shop LBR-2 Book Bench

Sometimes, at home, you run into an awkward spot that needs to be filled. Maybe it’s at the foot of your bed, maybe it’s in the corner of a wide hallway. It needs something just the right size, and you aren’t quite sure what. A low bookshelf? A small bench, perhaps?

Here’s a question for you: why choose?

Hand-built in California from solid walnut, this simple, fetching “Book Bench” is exactly as advertised: it’ll hold a couple dozen of your favourite hardcovers, and provide a handy seat for putting on socks, polishing shoes or, you know, reading a book. And, best of all, it’s the perfect size to fill that trifling, bothersome space in your room.
