Description
Our well-designed Fia benches have a striking angular leg that sits stylishly beneath a tactile, mango wood bench seat. Our mango wood pieces are created from sustainable mango wood. The Mango trees are initially grown for their fruit, harvested over a number of years. Once the trees have stopped bearing fruit, they can be cut down and used to make our wooden pieces. This allows farmers to plant more trees and provides them with a supplementary income.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Fia bench for its clean lines and warm mango-wood top set on slim black legs - it feels right at home in Scandi-inspired or pared-back modern schemes, but its natural tone also complements industrial lofts or coastal retreats. Because it’s generously sized, you can use it as extra dining seating or position it in an entrance hall without it looking oversized.
For styling, keep it simple: a couple of monochrome cushions or a woven throw will soften the wood, while a slim runner or tray with a vase and small ceramics adds interest without clutter. If you’re using it in a hallway, pair it with a wall mirror above and a basket underneath for shoes or blankets to make the most of its practical appeal.
