design classic: the Copenhagen bench
/This is the standard bench in the city - with iron end frames and planks of wood for the seat and the back rest that are painted Copenhagen Green - a distinct dark green that is close to black.
The clever part is that the iron ends can be fitted with new planks if the wood is damaged or it rots. An iron tension rod underneath keeps the bench rigid and set square.
Designed for the Nordisk Industri- Landrugs- og Kunstudstilling Kjøbenhavn / Nordic Industrial, Agricultural and Art Exhibition in 1888 and still manufactured.
