The Linear Steel Bench brings new perspectives to modern outdoor furniture through its straight lines alongside the folded edges, halfcircular intersecting legs and small spacing for easy removal of water.
Kept visually clean for long-lasting aesthetics, the Linear Steel Bench finds it distinct character through subtle detailing and a simple expression, allowing for it to complement any outdoor setting. The design is made in powder coated steel for a matte look and contemporary feel. Bench seat leans 1,5 degrees towards the middle of the bench for added comfort and easy removal of water. Bench is designed in proportions that will slide easily under the table.

THOMAS BENTZEN'S DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
“I like to create objects that are functional and simple and meet the human need while in use - and simply create joy while not. For me durability means quality, form and functionality. And putting an immense amount of energy into making virtues out of necessities.”
THOMAS BENTZEN ON NEW NORDIC DESIGN
“To me Scandinavian design has always been about honesty and functionality composed with poetry. I like it that way. And I think Scandinavian designers have succeeded in bringing their heritage into a time where we no longer stand next to the cabinetmaker, but are challenged and thrilled by new materials and new ways to produce.”
In fact, our name Muuto, inspired by the Finnish word muutos, means new perspective.
