"Bench"-Marking the New Year

The New Year is in full swing and we are anxiously preparing for the months ahead.  We are listening to our clients and are charting a course that will better enable us to meet their demands as well as their expectations.  We are sensitive to our clients needs and are targeting areas of expansion to better address those needs.

One area that Irwin has targeted for expansion is one of our most popular classifications: benches and ottomans.  2009’s recessionary environment forced many clients to postpone or reduce the scope of their design projects.  While smaller projects proliferated, so did our sales of benches and ottomans.

This informational tidbit should not come as a surprise to many of our readers.  We have discussed the versatility of both for months on our Facebook fan page:

the holidays are once agin upon us and seating versatility is a must.  Consider adding several ottomans to your living area.  They are beautiful, offer additional seating or table space & can be moved easily or tucked under a table or console

Benches and ottomans are versatile additions to any space redesign. They afford alternative as well as extra seating and table space in a variety of settings in home, commercial, retail and hospitality environments. They are also wonderful ways to infuse style and color into a wide range of settings.

The gallery in now brimming with vintage MCM benches and ottomans that have been completely restored as well as custom MCM inspired pieces designed by Irwin and completely fabricated on premises.

The distinct ability to customize and fabricate ottomans and benches on site affords us the luxury of producing pieces in a short period of time. This has come in handy when dealing with set decorators and clients working on press and production deadlines. 

Some of our latest additions to the gallery include:

 

 

Ebonized rosewood MCM bench with ikat pattern upholstery

 

Pair of Cylindrical Ottomans newly recovered in Stroheim And Roman velvet.

 

 

faux bamboo MCM Bench

 

So whether you are working on a large or small project, kitchen or bath or simply need additional seating or an infusion of color, remember that benches and ottomans offer all of that and so much more.
