Ethnicraft

Solid-wood furniture from Antwerp, made to age well

Benoit Loos and Philippe Delaisse founded Ethnicraft in Antwerp more than 30 years ago. It makes solid oak and teak furniture in its own factories, and its Re-Loved programme refurbishes pieces for a second life.

  • Solid wood, oiled or water-based varnished
  • Serbian factory runs on wood-residue energy
  • Re-Loved: refurbished for a second life

PI Bench

Polished yet imperfect: each PI bench is finished by hand so the wood's own curves and lines stay in charge.

The PI Bench from Ethnicraft's PI collection honors nature's design, its softly rounded edges revealing shapes rather than imposing them. It is made from solid oak with a hardwax oil finish in four widths, with a brown-tainted, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified teak version also produced.

Solid oak with a hardwax oil finish (teak version: FSC-certified, varnished)

Common Questions

Where does the PI Bench work best?
At 14 inches deep and 18 inches high it slides under dining tables, along entry walls, and at the foot of a bed — four widths from 49.5 to 73 inches cover most spots.

What does "polished imperfect" mean?
Each PI piece is finished by hand, preserving the individual character of the wood — subtle curves, grain shifts, and softened edges that make every bench slightly different.

Can two people sit on it?
Yes — the solid oak construction easily seats two adults on the 57.5-inch width and up; the 73-inch version seats three at a dining table.

Care Guide +

For regular cleaning of the teak frame, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soapy water and rinse thoroughly. To maintain the natural honey-brown colour, apply Ethnicraft teak oil once or twice a year. For a silver-grey patina, leave untreated. Store cushions indoors when not in use. Cover furniture during extended periods of non-use or harsh weather.
