At Wildflower we are big fans of the humble bench. A bench is a friendly invitation to sit down, relax, share someone’s company. Suitable for use in many rooms and décor settings, a bench is versatile and accommodating.
This bench is hand crafted from kiln-dried, sustainable monkey pod wood. Skilled craftsmen from the Chiang Mai area in Thailand create these one-of-a-kind pieces. After each piece is carved and sanded, it is hand-finished to enhance the wood’s natural luster and beauty.
Monkey Pod (also known as Rain Tree) is easily recognized by its characteristic umbrella-shaped canopy. When grown in the open, the tree usually reaches 50–80ft in height with a canopy diameter wider than the tree is tall. Rain tree is most important in the Pacific as a shade tree on small farms, along roads, in parks and pastures. In Thailand, Monkey Pod is mainly grown in the Northern provinces along the neighboring borders providing a bountiful source of larger wood for the carving industry.
Each piece is a unique creation, and as such some variations may occur.
