Type 25 reclaimed timber benches

A bold fusion of raw industrial history and contemporary minimalism. Handcrafted in Shropshire, these seats are built around a core of reclaimed tropical timber, encased in vibrant, precision-engineered steel.

The collection highlights a striking contrast between the organic and the man-made. The timber, sourced from decommissioned marine and industrial structures, features a deep, charred texture that tells a story of decades of heavy-duty use. By pairing reclaimed timber with sleek, powder-coated steel, Chris Nangle Furniture has created a functional art piece that is as indestructible as it is aesthetically arresting.

Sustainable Soul, Industrial Skin

Reclaiming this material, prevents high-value tropical hardwood from entering landfills, instead giving it a second life as a centerpiece of modern design.

The steel frames don't just hold the wood; they frame it, protecting the grain and providing a pop of industrial color that fits perfectly in any public space.

Key Features:

  • Reclaimed timber Sourced from heavy-duty industrial salvage, ensuring every bench has a unique grain pattern and history.

  • Precision Steel Frames: Custom-bent steel available in high-visibility orange, signal red, and other bespoke powder-coated finishes.

  • Built to Last: Combining one of the world’s hardest woods with heavy-gauge steel results in a piece of furniture designed for generations of use.

  • Hand-Finished Details: Visible hardware and charred timber textures provide a tactile, "workshop-chic" aesthetic.
