Description

The Chariot Bench represents a rare opportunity to own a functional artifact that has survived nearly two centuries of history. At the core of this piece is a wooden base salvaged from an authentic East Indian Walnut chariot, aged between 180 to 200 years. This reclaimed wood carries a unique character and soul that only time can bestow, repurposed now into a contemporary bench that bridges the gap between the past and the present.

The structural integrity of the piece relies on ancient architectural techniques. The walnut base is meticulously interlocked and grooved directly into two heavy Granite Boulders, ensuring exceptional stability through pure weight and precision joinery. This harmonious blend of wood and stone reflects a deep respect for natural elements and the ingenuity of traditional builders.

Beyond its historical and structural merits, the Chariot Bench is designed for sensory well-being. The wooden surface features intricate, hand-carved details that serve a dual purpose. Visually, they add a layer of rustic elegance; physically, these textures are designed to press gently against the body. This creates a therapeutic sensation similar to acupuncture, promoting comfort and physical relaxation during use. With dimensions of 84”L x 18”W x 18”H (213 x 45.7 x 45.7 cms), it serves as a monumental focal point for gardens, grand hallways, or curated commercial spaces.
