Mr Teak's Favourite Lutyens Benches

In this post we’ll be talking about the increasingly popular Lutyens style bench, and which benches in particular are our favourite.

What is a Lutyens Bench?

A Lutyens bench is a type of outdoor garden bench that features a distinctive design attributed to British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Lutyens benches typically have a curved, S-shaped backrest and arms.

Teak has a natural water resistance, meaning our robustly constructed furniture can be left outdoors year round no matter the weather, so you can shop with confidence knowing that our smooth finish plantation teak is built to last.

What are the Benefits of a Lutyens Bench?

The benefits of a Lutyens bench are both aesthetic and functional. From an aesthetic standpoint, the unique design of a Lutyens bench adds an elegant and sophisticated touch to any outdoor space, whether it be a garden, patio, or front porch. 

The curved backrest and arms provide a visually interesting focal point that can complement the surrounding landscaping.

Functionally, Lutyens benches are designed to provide comfortable seating for outdoor relaxation and socialising. A Lutyens bench offers not only a place to rest, but the overall design of the bench encourages users to sit back and relax.

Teak Lutyens Collection

Our classic Sissington Lutyens silhouette is one of our signature models, timeless yet never boring, the Sissington is a conversation piece as well as somewhere to enjoy the outdoors.

The classic Sissington Lutyens comes in two, three and four seaters meaning you never have to compromise on comfort no matter the shape and size of your garden.

Our Sissington Lutyens two seat benches were recently featured in the King’s Garden Display, designed by TV horticultural personalities David Domoney and Matt Leigh, for the Ideal Home Show exhibition. 

Our brilliant benches then gained further acclaim as the exhibition was covered by weekday television institution, This Morning.

We also offer a low back version of the bench basking in the limelight, for those with a more traditional garden.

With 4mm thick rolled arms, the flagship of our Lutyens range is the luxurious Sissington four seater extra thick. This classic design and sturdy structure can comfortably be the centrepiece in any outdoor space.

We also stock Lutyens chairs if you want to spread out your seating, be flexible with your garden design or already use a bench.

If you would like to purchase a quality set that will never go out of style, you can get our Sissington Lutyens teak chair and bench set, which also includes one of our Sissington Lutyens two-tier coffee tables to tie the furniture together.

Keep it Covered

Although Teak is extremely robust, it definitely increases the protection of your garden furniture to utilise one of our premium UPVC Weatherguard bench covers designed for the Lutyens silhouette to encapsulate it perfectly.
