What makes a Columbia teak bench different from a Savoy teak bench? How can you tell a Tahawus from a Saranac? It's not a different language being spoken. Surprisingly enough, a bench by any other name is not necessarily the same bench.
When you think "teak bench," you're more than likely envisioning the Classic model. It is called classic for just that reason. Think of that recognizable rectangular shape with slatted seat and perpendicular slatted backrest, flanked on either side by an armrest. Resting on four straight legs, this is a teak bench in the most traditional sense.
Next up, the Savoy teak bench is a rather elegant variation on the original. Similar to the classic design, the Savoy is varied in that the backrest is both more detailed than the original and sits an angle. This angle allows for more lumbar support than the straight up and down backrest.
The Columbia is also very alike to the classic model, but with some marked differences. Although it starts with the regular slatted seat and back with straight armrests, the back on these benches has a distinct curve to it, which once again aids with lower back support. Additionally, the slats of this model are more numerous and closer together. The back slats also run parallel to the seat slats, not perpendicular.
Going further away from the traditional shape is the Victoria , one of the more ornate teak bench designs. This is due to the elegance of its organically flowing lines. The slatted back of this seat is curved along the top and the back itself is elongated to support more of the spine. The slatted seat, whose lines run perpendicular to the back slats, is ever so slightly curved for a little extra comfort. Finally, the arm rests of the Victoria are curved on top so as to conform better to the shape of the arms.
The Charleston is a bit of anomaly in that it has been seen to take on a number of forms, but the most common varieties of this teak bench are backless, with a bottom crossbeam attached to the legs. With the tendency to have less slats that are more closely fitted together, this particular type of seat is extra sturdy and perfect as a piano or organ bench.
Like the Charleston, the Essex bench can possess varying looks. The typical form, however, is almost identical to that of the classic teak bench, with the exception of curved arm rests.
Another stable backless bench, the Saranac is a model characterized by two wide plank-like slats fitted close together that make up the, matched on bottom by a parallel running cross support. What makes this bench unique are its rounded legs, which, rather than run straight up and down, start close together at the bottom of the seat and run downwards in an A-shape, much like the structure of swing sets.
Of any model, the Tahawus is the most recognizable of teak bench. Beginning with the same basic shape-rectangle seat and back matched with armrests-the difference lies in its unusual design. The back of the bench comprises an elaborate crisscross of tapered and rounded wood pieces, with the added detail of rounded edges and armrests.
Like the Tahawus, the Lakeside bench also features rounded edges, but its back is curved along the top beam, and rather than a crisscross pattern, the rounded tapered slats run straight up and down.
Perhaps the most attractive of designs is the Courting Bench . This type of teak bench is actually two connected seats that face away from one another, which are joined in the center by a continuous curved back which acts as both arm and backrest for each seat. When viewed from above, the seat has an S-shape.
