L’Accueil – Antique Barn Wood Bench

Made from planks reclaimed from Quebec barns dating back to the 1880s-1890s, L’Accueil (French for “the welcome”) is meant to be the first piece of furniture that greets you when you come home.

Its thick 3-inch top proudly bears the marks of more than a century of life: old nail holes, knots, natural cracks and a groove worn by time. Its edges, softened over the years, invite you to sit for a moment to pull on your boots or set down your bag.

Standing on two solid legs, it is as sturdy as it is warm. Sanded, then protected with a water-based varnish, it reveals a beautiful warm brown tone while keeping its original character intact. Perfect for an entryway, at the foot of a bed or along a hallway.

One of a kind. Only one exists.
