The Nandi Bench is a taller, narrower version of the Nandi Day Bed. It can be placed in a variety of settings - at the entrance, the dining table, or even at the foot of a bed. Its gently curved ends are bent heat free, by slotting a small piece of wood into the larger piece. This simple but special woodworking method saves material and limits the amount of waste generated during production. It also lends the bench a singular decorative look. "The ribs of the bench and the daybed are reminiscent of the fingers of a hand. This hand carries the person sitting or lying on it. The idea of 'being carried' has its origins not least in the East Asian mindset and spirituality." says Grund. A three seater, the Klemens Grund Bench comes with a light, hand tufted organic cotton mattress upholstered in Zanav textile.

We offer this product in a choice of Natural Teak and Dark Stain. For Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded to smoothness and transparent wood polish and sealer are applied with a soft cloth to bring out the natural golden brown colour of teak. For Dark Stain, a coat of teak stain is hand applied to give the wood a darker, deeper shade. Please note, each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary a little from the reference image.
