Three Seat Gallery Bench in Oak, Arthur Umanoff, Washington Woodcraft, USA, 1960

Three Seat Gallery Bench in Oak, Arthur Umanoff, Washington Woodcraft, USA, 1960

By Arthur Umanoff

Located in Deland, FL

Introducing a rare, low stance three-seater bench designed by the influential Arthur Umanoff. Produced in limited numbers, this hard-to-find bench is constructed from a mix of solid and veneered oak. The legs, in their original black paint, were painted to off-set the piece offering a playful two tone theme. The upholstery, redone a rich Italian leather hide, offers a touch of elegance and timeless comfort. Arthur Umanoff (1913–1985) was an American industrial designer renowned for his contributions to Mid-Century Modern furniture, particularly in wrought iron and bentwood. Born in New York, Umanoff studied at the Pratt Institute before establishing his own design practice in the 1940s. He gained prominence for creating functional, sculptural pieces that combined metal frames with organic materials, often collaborating with manufacturers like Raymor to produce affordable yet stylish furniture. His designs, characterized by their playful yet practical forms, became iconic in Mid-Century interiors, with wrought iron chairs and bar stools remaining highly sought after by collectors for their enduring appeal and innovative craftsmanship. With so few of these benches available for sale, and fewer still in such excellent restored condition this extraordinary low profile three-seater is ideal for collectors and designers alike searching for an authentic Umanoff bench...
