When you’re sitting in the garden, relaxing, somehow a chair or a daybed just don’t seem quite right. Something else would be better out here. The garden bench is the choice you’re looking for. Simple, casual and versatile, the garden bench can come in a variety of forms and can have a multitude of interesting designs.

Some garden benches are basic and nothing more than just a simple, classic bench placed in a garden. Others are more complex, with designs inspired by nature as to better integrate in their settings, featuring irregular shapes and made of materials that let them blend in easily. In other cases, the garden bench is merely an extension or an accessory added to other features that naturally belong these such as planters or fountains.

The main goal is almost always to have garden furniture that has as little impact on the landscape as possible. And since the garden bench is a primary element, designers have come up with all sorts of clever solutions over the years.
