PALERMO BED BENCH (INSPIRED BY THE HISTORIC FENBY ARMY COT FROM 1880)
Transform your space with our elegant Palermo Bed Bench, inspired by the iconic Fenby army cot designed in 1880. Originally created by Joseph B. Fenby and patented in 1881, this piece was used in military campaigns due to its practicality, durability, and foldability. Now, reimagined as a stylish and functional piece of art, our bench is perfect for adding a touch of history and sophistication to any room.
Designed for Comfort & Versatility:
Narrower and taller than the original army cot, our Palermo Bed Bench offers a comfortable sitting height — ideal for putting on shoes, relaxing, or simply adding character to your bedroom, hallway, or living space. Its sleek design makes it a versatile addition that combines function with artistic elegance.
Premium Materials:
- Crafted using premium grass fed cow leather from Argentina and Argentine lenga fueguina wood, sourced from Patagonia, renowned for its exceptional flexibility, lightness, and strength — capable of withstanding winds over 200 km/h.
- Hand-dyed high-quality polo leather, made from environmentally friendly vegetable-tanned hides, emphasizing durability and eco-consciousness.
- Features sturdy metal swivel joints that echo the original design, ensuring both authenticity and longevity.
