CRATE Bench • Crafted by NICCHRIS
An Authorial Study in Tectonic Rhythm, Parametric Joinery & Solid Wood Leg Craftsmanship
The Crate Bench by NICCHRIS lets the character of wood take centre stage. A continuous timber seat rests on substantial wooden legs, creating a grounded silhouette with clean lines and softly finished edges. Its understated design makes it easy to pair with different furniture styles.
Use Crate as a dining bench for a relaxed seating arrangement, or place it in an entryway as a convenient spot to sit while putting on shoes. At the foot of a bed, it offers a useful surface for a folded throw and somewhere to pause while getting ready.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Crate Bench is available in a choice of wood stains to complement your furniture and the overall palette of your home.
Material Authenticity & Engineering Authority
ASH VENEER Seat & Solid Wood Legs
Engineered with a ash veneer seat supported by dense solid wood legs. Hand-selected for continuous cathedral grain flow, every timber component undergoes strict equilibrium seasoning to prevent cupping, checking, and twisting in climate-controlled spaces.
Mortise and Tenon Joinery & Expansion Relief
Leg-to-apron junctions are secured via traditional mortise and tenon joinery for lifetime racking resistance. Concealed slotted anchors accommodate natural radial grain movement during seasonal humidity shifts without compromising frame stability.
Artisanal Edge Detailing
Each perimeter contour is hand-shaped and eased by master craftsmen to remove sharp edges while preserving crisp architectural shadow gaps and clear structural articulation between seat and leg planes.
Tactile Satin Protective Luster
Shielded with high-durability, low-VOC penetrating sealants and silky matte topcoats that protect the wood grain against daily surface wear while maintaining an organic, tactile touch.
Architectural Spatial Versatility
Crate is engineered for interior architects, spatial stylists, and discerning homeowners curating environments defined by material authority and understated luxury. Positioned as an anchor along an expansive art gallery hallway, arranged at the foot of an architectural platform bed, or providing versatile perimeter seating in an open-plan dining room, its low horizontal silhouette maintains uninterrupted sightlines throughout the interior. Every bench is custom made to commission in Malaysia, accommodating bespoke linear dimensions and curated timber tone selections.
