About this asset

This rustic SketchUp bench features a natural live-edge timber seat and an asymmetric spindle backrest, presented with two decor items. This bench showcases a raw, live-edge timber slab seat that retains the natural organic profile of the wood grain. The design is complemented by a slender, vertical spindle backrest positioned asymmetrically on one side of the seat, providing a minimalist contrast to the heavy, textured wood. The piece is supported by simple, tapered cylindrical legs. Included in the model are two woven baskets, one containing a small potted plant, which add a tactile, artisanal quality to the overall assembly. The dark, stained wood finish highlights the natural imperfections and character of the material.
