The Linear Wood bench by Muuto is characterised by a modern yet timeless expression inspired by the meeting of lines and shapes. The designer, Danish Thomas Bentzen, wanted to unite the warmth of natural wood with a simple, understated shape in order to create a dining set with straight lines that are softened by subtle details like the rounded legs that go all they way to the top. Place the bench in the entryway or create a matching dining set with the Linear Wood table.
