A Glimpse into the Workshop: Crafting the Curved Bench
Posted on June 09, 2025
In the workshop, another bespoke curved bench is taking shape. Again, this piece is a variation on the York wooden bench, known for its robust construction. The images provide a sneak peek into the various stages of its development, and hopefully, the final post will showcase the bench in its installed location.
The curved bench maintains the same structural integrity as its straight counterpart while the new design transforms the York bench into a graceful curve. The increasing demand for these curved benches reflects the company's pricing strategy, which is based on the time required for creation rather than the perceived luxury desirability. With 30 years of experience, the company ensures the same high standards as other luxury bench manufacturers while at more palatable price tag.

These benches can be made to any size or specification with variations on the design of the arms and top rails ensuring no two York curved benches are ever the same.
Curved benches are great because they are designed for conversation. They gently nudge people closer together, creating a more intimate and engaging atmosphere. You're basically building a mini-community with every curve. Think of it as a built-in icebreaker you want to encourage people to chat and connect.

These benches are perfect around a fire pit in your garden or indeed around commemorative monuments and cenotaphs in public spaces and cemeteries such as the Covid 19 memorial that we built a huge York curved bench for.
What makes these curved benches so enduring is that they're Seriously Stylish. They add a touch of elegance, whimsy, and sophistication to any space. They break up the monotony of straight lines and bring a sense of flow and movement. Whether you're going for a modern, minimalist vibe or a more traditional, romantic look, a curved bench can fit right in.
We'll post a few pictures when the bench has reached it's final destination so stay tuned for more updates.
