Dendro Light Maple Bench

Dendro Light Maple Bench

The DENDRO Light bench in solid maple is an innovative creation born out of our commitment to upcycling. This version of the DENDRO bench series utilizes unused wood slabs from our sawmill and remnants from the waste of our Delavelle production workshop in Saulnot.

Featuring discreetly turned legs, the DENDRO Light showcases the distinctive design inspired by the geometry of wood slabs, specifically the first plank cut on the outer part of the tree with one straight-cut side and one round side. This unique design characterizes the entire DENDRO collection, highlighting the beauty of wood pieces that were previously only used as fuel. Crafted entirely at our Saulnot workshop in France, the DENDRO Light bench undergoes meticulous hand-finishing by our skilled craftsmen, ensuring unparalleled quality for this one-of-a-kind bench.

Similar to the original DENDRO bench, the Light version is available in four lengths ranging from 60 to 240 cm, or can be customized upon request in various French wood species such as oak, walnut, or other local woods.

Characteristics

Dendro Light Maple Bench

Crafted from 100% solid and French maple wood, the DENDRO Light bench offers a versatile length selection ranging from 60 to 240 cm. With a depth of 35 cm and a height of 45 cm, it can also be customized upon request. Certified by PEFC for local wood, this bench features an oiled finish for a natural look and is delivered fully assembled.

Protected with natural oil, the solid maple construction ensures the wood remains free from harmful substances while retaining its excellent properties. The wood breathes, absorbs moisture, and gradually releases it into the surrounding air, creating a healthy and pleasant environment. Meticulously hand-sanded and oiled, the bench’s finishing meets the safety standards for children’s products (EN 71-3).

PEFC Certified Wood

The maple used is sourced from France, near our workshop, and holds PEFC certification, ensuring sustainable forest management. Both our sawmill and workshop undergo regular independent checks for wood supply.
