A 4-foot Lutyens bench in natural oil eucalyptus wood, perfect for garden paths, porches, or mudrooms.
Inspired by Edwin Lutyens' original Thakeham seat, this classic bench brings timeless English garden style to any indoor or outdoor space. Crafted from sustainably harvested eucalyptus grandis with a natural oil finish, it develops a beautiful silvery patina over time if left uncovered. The gracefully proportioned design offers comfortable seating for two, with a contoured back and armrests that invite relaxation.
Best for
- Garden paths and patios as a resting spot to enjoy the view
- Porches and sunrooms for casual seating with a cup of tea
- Mudrooms and hallways as a stylish boot bench
- Entryways where a classic wooden bench adds warmth and character
Not ideal for
- Spaces where you need a fully weatherproof bench without periodic oil maintenance - the natural oil finish requires reapplication to preserve the wood color
- Very small entryways under 54 inches wide
Style and finish
The Lutyens bench features a classic English garden design with curved armrests, slatted back, and turned legs. The natural oil finish highlights the warm reddish-brown tones of eucalyptus wood. Over time, if left exposed to the elements, the wood will naturally weather to a silvery grey, similar to teak or cedar. The bench is available in white, black, and natural oil finishes.
Materials and care
Made from sustainably harvested eucalyptus grandis wood with a natural oil finish. To maintain the deep reddish color, periodically reapply a wood oil. If left untreated, the wood will age to a silvery grey. Clean with a mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals. Store indoors or cover during extreme weather months for longest life.
Sizing and fit
The bench measures 54 inches wide, 23 inches deep, and 39 inches tall, with a seat height of approximately 18.5 inches and seat depth of 18.5 inches. It comfortably seats two adults. The 4-foot size fits most standard porches, patios, and mudrooms.
