Timbur GL101 bench, teak

Carl Hansen & Søn's Timbur GL101 bench with its minimalist design where simple and strong elements combine beautifully. The look of the bench is completed by wide armrests that are not only beautiful but also practical, serving as a handy side table on which you can set down a cup of coffee or a novel you're reading – as long as you don't forget your book out in the summer rain!

The Timbur bench is designed by Icelandic designer Gudmundur Ludvik, who draws inspiration from both nature and traditional craftsmanship. This is obvious in the look of the Timbur bench, which is brought to life by the material used: the garden bench is made of untreated teak, which patinates with time and use, making it even more unique. If you prefer an original tone, we recommend treating teak furniture with a suitable teak sealant.
