Skagerak Skagen Bench
The Skagen Bench by Skagerak is an iconic piece of Scandinavian outdoor furniture that combines timeless design with enduring quality. Named after Denmark’s northernmost point, the design pays tribute to the late 19th century, when the town of Skagen became a retreat for many of the nation’s most renowned painters and writers.
With its solid construction and cross-back design, the bench presents a classic and elegant silhouette that stands beautifully on a terrace, in a garden, or against a sunlit wall. Made from FSC-certified wood, it is built to last for generations, naturally weathering over time to develop a distinguished silver-grey patina. Cushions are available to enhance seating comfort.
