About this piece

The Lewa Bench is named after the Lewa plateau, the broad savannah heartland of East Sumba. It is a single-plank seat supported by two sets of stacked teak legs joined with through-tenon and rattan cord — no metal anywhere in the structure.

The seat panel is hand-woven ikat from Rende village, stretched taut and lashed to the frame. The bench is designed to work alone or as a pair at a dining table. Standard length is 140 cm; shorter and longer versions (90–180 cm) are available on request.

Made for

A dining bench, an entryway bench, a garden or poolside seat under a covered terrace. The proportions are low and grounded — it reads as traditional Sumba architecture in miniature.

Weight capacity 200 kg per bench (two seated). Designed for interior use; suitable for covered outdoor use in dry season. See the wood care guide for seasonal maintenance advice.
