Workshop Bench in Black by Muuto pairs simplicity with bold restraint

The Workshop Bench in Black, designed by Cecilie Manz for Muuto, presents a bold yet quietly refined addition to contemporary interiors. Its stripped-back aesthetic highlights the purity of form, with solid FSC™-certified oak and pressed veneer coated in deep black lacquer. Designed with thoughtful restraint, this bench becomes a striking silhouette – strong, sculptural and ready to stand alone or blend into space with subtle strength.

Confident lines and crafted detail in black solid oak and veneer

Defined by its clarity and precision, the Workshop Bench in Black is made using traditional woodworking methods and a focus on material honesty. Its sculpted backrest and seat, formed from curved oak veneer, sit lightly on a frame of solid oak – all in a clean black finish that highlights texture while offering tonal depth. Understated yet striking, it brings a refined sharpness to any interior palette.

Minimalist seating that plays with light, texture and silhouette

The Workshop Bench in Black is both compact and confident, designed to enhance narrow zones or elevate open-plan layouts. Use it in the hallway for sculptural impact, beneath a window, or as part of a tonal dining set-up. With its deep matte finish and light visual footprint, this Muuto bench offers versatile, design-led seating with personality – stripped back, thoughtfully made, and ready to live with you.
