Description
Martin Brattrud Used Bench, Orange Red Pattern
Martin Brattrud has been building upholstered contract furniture in Gardena, California since 1948, working largely to order for architects and designers on corporate, hospitality and institutional projects. The company’s work tends to be frame up custom: a steel or hardwood frame, a specified textile and a finish chosen for the room, which is why Martin Brattrud pieces so often turn out to be one of a handful ever made in that exact combination. It also means the textile and the metalwork on a Martin Brattrud piece were specified for a particular project rather than pulled from a stock program.
This pre-owned Martin Brattrud bench has a two pad upholstered top in a red and orange geometric jacquard, carried on polished chrome flat bar legs. The fabric is a woven pattern of interlocking rounded rectangles in tonal reds with short gold dashes scattered across the field, so the surface picks up light differently depending on where you stand. The seat is divided into two equal pads across the length, and the chrome legs are formed from flat stock bent into an open sled at each end, which lifts the bench visually off the floor. Overall it measures 24 inches deep by 52 inches wide by 16 inches tall.
At 52 inches wide and 16 inches tall, this bench does two jobs well. It seats two comfortably in a reception area or a corridor, and at 16 inches it sits low enough to work as a bench in front of a coffee table or at the foot of a lounge grouping. The backless form means it can be placed against a wall or free in the middle of a floor and still read as intentional, and the chrome and red combination gives a neutral space a genuine focal point. Pre-owned, this is custom grade California upholstery, ready to anchor a reception area the day it arrives.
