10' white oak floating bench
Upstate New York
A quiet gesture of permanence, warmth, and modern restraint.
This 10-foot floating bench, crafted from solid white oak and paired with a matching oak back panel, was designed to create both visual anchor and functional intimacy within an open-plan dining space in upstate New York. The clean lines and minimalist hardware allow the natural character of the wood to shine—soft grain, gentle color shifts, and organic detail bring a grounded serenity to the room.
Hovering lightly above the floor, the bench lends architectural clarity without overwhelming the space. Its presence defines the dining area while preserving openness, bridging the boundary between furniture and structure. The white oak paneling behind the bench extends the visual rhythm upward, creating a continuous backdrop that unites the furniture with the architecture of the home.
Timeless yet modern, this installation embodies the Indigo Designs ethos—purposeful craftsmanship that honors material and place.
Working with Hunter and Indigo Designs was an exceptional experience from start to finish. he carefully listened to our ides, and translated them beautifully into a stunning, custom-built bench that perfectly complements our home. His craftsmanship is impeccable, showcasing precision and attention in every detail. Throughout the project, Hunter demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and genuine enthusiasm, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. there were several aspects of the project that he had to troubleshoot on sight, and he handled it with ease and grace. We couldn't be happier with the finished piece--it's both functional and a true work of art. We highly recommend Hunter for anyone seeking bespoke furniture and outstanding quality.
