Garden Benches

A true essential when it comes to furnishing your outdoor living space, the garden bench is where you'll share unforgettable moments over a cocktail at the height of summer. Whether you're on your own or in good company, a designer bench offers comfort that's hard to turn down, while letting you tailor the style of your garden furniture to suit you perfectly. The choice of model comes down to colours, materials, style and size. The Cool Team has hand-picked its favourite pieces for you, ready to be paired with your garden armchairs, your sun loungers or even a garden stool! You'll have plenty of choice to find the model that matches your taste, whether your garden bench sits against an outside wall or right in the middle of your terrace.

Ideal if you're looking for comfort above all else, the Moments bench by Danish design brand Cane-Line is a must-have. You'll feel perfectly at ease on the cushions that come with this Scandinavian-inspired piece. It seats at least two people – perfect for drinks on the terrace with friends, whatever the day or the weather. Suited to both your home and garden, it will also blend beautifully into your indoor furnishings.

You'll also find wooden benches, for a more rustic charm. The light brown of the wood works wonderfully with a natural setting or a garden in exotic wood. Simple and modern, the Matteo bench from Vincent Sheppard offers a fresh take on the use of wood, with a blend of natural and industrial materials. Solid teak rests on a powder-coated steel frame, available in white or black for a more contemporary look. The Matteo collection also includes a matching table, in several sizes. Danish house Houe, meanwhile, uses bamboo for the seat of its garden bench, giving it a look that takes you back in time. The PAON collection is indeed defined by a blend of Nordic vintage and minimalism. The PAON collection also lets you pair your bench with its rocking chair, heightening the cosy, romantic touch of the range. Designer Henrik Pedersen pays particular attention to the use of hard-wearing materials so the pieces withstand bad weather and stand the test of time.

Choose the Ocean model from Mater for a style closer to the village square bench. Originally designed in 1955 by Nanna Ditzel and recently reimagined, it comes with a strong ethical commitment. The Ocean bench is made from recycled plastic sourced largely from ocean plastic waste and fishing nets. It has also been designed to be taken apart and recycled component by component in the purest possible way, for endless production.

Come and choose the bench that will have you socialising over a drink by day and dreaming under the stars by night. With such a wide collection, you're sure to find the perfect piece for your outdoor living space.
