Caracole Crete

The Caracole Crete bench takes its shape from the ceremonial vessels of ancient Greece. A curved poplar frame wraps around a plush upholstered seat and front panel, so the bench looks as considered from the side as it does from the front. The finishes give Crete its depth. The frame carries Caracole's Ivory Craze, a crackle finish with an aged, hand-worked look, while the cap rails and base are done in a dark Charred Bark. Brushed gold wood beading and metal brackets trace the line between the two. At 60 inches wide, Crete is sized for the foot of a queen or king bed, where it gives you a place to sit and set things down. It works just as well in an entryway, under a console, or along a dressing room wall.
