The sumptuous European seats derived in deep Argentina in related furniture of simple, functional, solid lines, charming in its austerity. This is the case with our four-seat bench, a typical Creole-made bench. Its back, straight and high, is closed with wavy and symmetrical lines in the only curved detail of the piece.

The province of Santiago del Estero has stood out for the manufacture of rural furniture -tables, chairs, beds, cabinets- but truth be told, the country's carpentry elaborated these utilitarian articles for their current use. From this production, our seat stands out for the purity of its lines, achieving that much sought-after balance between the useful and the beautiful.
