Description
AREAWARE · Steven Bukowski
A milking stool that grew into a bench – round, cheerful and surprisingly versatile.
The Pluma Bench is the big sister of the Pluma Stool: New York furniture designer Steven Bukowski reimagined the classic milking stool for Areaware and gave it a soft, rounded silhouette: a rounded, double-layered seat on four splayed round legs. The bench in painted solid wood is around 84 cm long and works as an extra seat, a drop zone in the hallway, a side table next to the sofa or at the foot of the bed. In natural, the grain of the wood stays visible – warm, light and calmly Scandinavian. It comes flat-packed with the hardware already installed – screw in the legs and you’re done.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pluma Bench good for?
As a hallway bench for putting on shoes, a place for bags and books, at the foot of the bed, as a low side table or as an extra seat at the dining table. According to Areaware, it has passed testing for personal and commercial use.
How much work is assembly?
Very little: the bench comes flat-packed with the hardware already set into the seat. You simply screw the legs into the holes – ideally on a soft surface so nothing gets scratched. No assembly help needed.
Is the bench available in other colours – and are there matching stools?
Yes – the Pluma Bench comes in natural and black. From the same family comes the Pluma Stool, as a short and a tall stool in several colours; it won the Domino Good Design Award 2023 for Furniture, “Most Versatile”. Bench and stools together make a coherent ensemble.
What should I keep in mind?
The bench belongs on a flat, firm surface; take care on rugs. Please don’t stand on it or lean back suddenly. To clean, a soft, dry cloth is enough; for spots, use a little mild detergent in lukewarm water. Don’t place hot objects directly on it and use coasters.
Is the bench a good gift?
Yes – for a new home, a first shared flat or anyone who likes furniture with character. For corporate orders: Click “Corporate Gifts” in the top menu — all details on quantities, terms and personal advice are there.
