Jake Bench - Work

Jake Bench — A Playful, Durable Seating Solution for Modern Workspaces and Education Environments

The Jake Bench is a contemporary reimagining of the classic school chair, designed to bring function and flair to corporate spaces, universities, libraries and schools. 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 or project brand identity. 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 communal tables, corridors, waiting areas, or breakout spaces, 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.
