A Grand Bench for the Art of the Entrance
The Arlette Bench is designed for the foyer, the hallway, the foot of the staircase — those transitional spaces where a single piece of furniture must carry the entire design statement. At 70 inches wide with a 48-inch back height, this is a bench of substance. Its tall winged sides slope inward, framed in dark wood that traces the bench's silhouette with architectural precision. The seat is generously cushioned in pale linen with bolster pillows and a patterned accent pillow arranged with casual elegance, while decorative nailhead trim outlines the upholstered panels.
The Arlette's construction features a hardwood frame with precisely mitered wood trim, each joint flush and seamless. The high back and winged sides create a sense of enclosure that transforms an open hallway into an intimate moment — a seated alcove in the open. The base features a tailored skirt with nailhead border, concealing the legs and creating a unified upholstered volume. This is the kind of piece that guests notice and remember — a signal that every corner of the home has been considered.
Featured Pieces
Arlette Bench
This elegant bench showcases a sophisticated transitional aesthetic with strong neoclassical influences, featuring dramatically curved high backs that create a striking silhouette reminiscent of French Empire styling. The piece is expertly upholstered in luxurious light gray linen with contrasting dark charcoal or black painted wood trim that's accented with precise nailhead detailing, creating beautiful visual definition and elevating the overall refinement. The neutral color palette of soft grays against the bold dark framework, complemented by coordinating bolster pillows and a geometric accent pillow, would serve as a stunning statement piece in formal living rooms, master bedrooms, or sophisticated entryways with traditional, transitional, or even contemporary interiors seeking a touch of classical grandeur.
