Cutter Bench, Teak
Fritz Hansen · £899
It’s good, but this is close and much better value: the Garden Trading Ergo teak bench, £350 provisional
Niels Hvass's Cutter is a slatted seat on a single coherent frame, in FSC 100% teak, untreated so it silvers evenly once the sun has been at it. It is a backless bench, which is a design decision rather than an omission: it reads as a line rather than a piece of furniture. Fritz Hansen include glides for outdoor use, and the teak is the same material question as every other bench here.
- For
- Someone who wants a Danish design piece that works indoors in winter and outdoors in summer.
- Not for
- Anyone who wants a back to lean on, or who is pricing teak by the metre.
What we checked
- Untreated solid teak, FSC 100% certified. Heal's
- Left in the sun the colour differences even out as the wood ages. Heal's
- Glides are supplied in the box for outdoor use. Heal's
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
