About this product
Jake Bench — A Playful, Durable Seating Solution
The Jake Bench is a contemporary reimagining of the classic school chair.
First released in 2013, this minimalist bench draws inspiration from the iconic Jake Chair and showcases Koskela’s signature approach: simple, sustainable materials, designed with longevity in mind.
Built with a robust tubular steel frame, the Jake Bench is available in a wide range of Koskela powder coat colours, making it easy to tailor to your interior palette. The standard whitewashed plywood seat offers a clean, natural aesthetic, while an upholstered seat option is available for added comfort and acoustic performance in high-traffic environments.
Perfect for dining tables, as an occasional bench or alongside a sofa, the Jake Bench is lightweight yet durable, with plastic dome feet as standard to protect floors. It’s not just made to last — it’s made to adapt and be repaired with the ability to re-powdercoat the frame or replace the seat or upholstery as needed.
