BILOT Bench
An Authorial Study in Horizontal Purity, Grounded Poise, and Solid Timber Restraint
A Bench That Shows Its Structure
The Bilot Bench by NICCHRIS takes inspiration from classic wooden furniture, where the frame is just as important as the seat itself.
Its long upholstered cushion sits within an exposed wooden structure, supported by slender, angled legs and connecting timber rails.
Rather than concealing how the bench is built, Bilot makes these elements part of its appearance. The result is a piece with a distinctly mid-century character and an open, airy silhouette.
The Framework Makes It Interesting
Look beneath the seat, and you'll find the detail that sets Bilot apart.
Horizontal wooden stretchers connect the legs, creating a series of open rectangular shapes along the base. These rails add visual structure without making the bench appear heavy.
At either end, the wooden supports extend slightly beyond the upholstered seat, forming gently rounded edges that frame the cushion.
The seat itself has a subtle curved profile, softening the straight timber elements beneath it.
It's the combination of exposed joinery, angled legs and upholstered seating that gives Bilot its recognisable character.
A Familiar Design with New Possibilities
Bilot draws on the simplicity of vintage wooden benches, but its upholstered seat introduces a more relaxed appearance.
It can accompany a dining table, provide an additional seat in a living area or stand independently as an accent piece.
The open wooden framework also allows the bench to complement other furniture without dominating the arrangement.
