Tuscany Bench

Description

The Tuscany Bench was inspired by furnishings of the Etruscans. Etruscan is the modern name given to a civilization of ancient Italy. Its homeland was in the area of central Italy, just north of Rome, which is today called Tuscany. Culture that may be positively identified as Etruscan developed in Italy after about 800 BC. Around 500 BC the political destiny of Italy passed out of Etruscan hands, but the decline was gradual. The last of the Etruscan cities were formally absorbed by Rome around 100 BC. Ancient Roman architecture began with Etruscan styles which later gave way to Greek influence. The Tuscany bench is made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a sand mold which can be used only once. The rough casting is then smoothed by a skilled craftsman. This is a laborious and time consuming task. Robust metal construction of the bench ensures sturdiness even under heavy loads. The seat cushion has 8-way hand-tied springs which will not sag even after decades of use. Upholstery is in COM. The bench is offered in a variety of finishes. Custom sizing is available. The Tuscany Bench was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD.
