Bench + Coat Rack

This custom entryway set was created for a client who needed a functional solution for a very small space without sacrificing warmth or style. The goal was to create a compact landing spot for shoes, coats, bags, and everyday essentials while still keeping the entryway feeling open and uncluttered.

Both pieces began as unfinished solid wood benches from the International Concepts line. The bench was trimmed down to better fit the dimensions of the space, while the second bench was completely reconfigured into a coordinating wall-mounted coat rack with an upper shelf for storage and display.

Each piece is constructed from 100% para wood and finished in Varathane Kona stain with Minwax satin oil-based polyurethane topcoat for durability and a soft natural sheen. The wall hooks were created using champagne bronze T knobs from The Home Depot, helping tie the two pieces together while keeping the design simple and functional for everyday use.
