An entrance bench is much more than just a place to sit. It’s a piece of furniture that defines the atmosphere of the home – the first thing you encounter when you walk in and the last thing you see as you leave. At Noyer, we design furniture that combines functionality with a deep respect for craftsmanship. Our Bench JN22, made from solid walnut, is crafted to be the perfect entrance bench: beautiful, practical, and timeless.
The Entrance – the Face of the Home
The entrance is often an overlooked space, yet it holds unique importance. It’s where guests are welcomed and where you first feel the calm of home. An entrance bench like the JN22 Bench brings both order and aesthetics into one. It offers a natural place to sit, put on shoes, or rest your bag, while the rich texture and deep tone of the walnut wood adds warmth to the room. It’s a piece of furniture that encourages you to slow down before stepping further into the house.
Paired with Noyer’s walnut and brass hat shelf with hanger bar, the entrance takes on a complete look where both function and aesthetics merge. The two pieces share the same design language, creating a harmonious and elegant interior that speaks to both the eye and the hand.
Craftsmanship You Can Feel
Bench JN22 is made in Noyer’s workshop in Copenhagen, where every detail is crafted by hand. The wood is carefully selected so the grain patterns create a natural flow, and the edges are cut in Noyer’s signature angles that allow light to dance across the surface. When you run your hand across the oiled walnut, you immediately feel the quality – the soft texture, the precise craftsmanship, and the calm only natural materials can provide.
This care in execution means that the JN22 Bench doesn’t just function as an entrance bench but as a piece that elevates the entire room. It stands light and elegant, yet its strength and stability reflect solid Danish craftsmanship.
An Entrance Bench with Many Functions
An entrance bench like the JN22 Bench adapts to many types of homes. In a small apartment, it serves as a practical seat and surface for storage, while in a large home it can stand freely in the room as a sculptural element that ties the space together. It’s both understated and bold – simple in form yet rich in expression.
The bench can also be used in other rooms of the house – for example, in the bedroom as a peaceful place to lay clothes, or in the living room as a low piece for books, plants, or art objects. Its flexibility makes it a piece that moves with you as life changes – always finding its place.
Maintenance of a Walnut Entrance Bench
To ensure your entrance bench retains its glow for years to come, Noyer’s JN22 Bench is treated with linseed oil already in the workshop. This protects the surface against daily wear and makes it easy to keep clean. A soft, dry cloth is usually all that’s needed. If, after many years of use, the wood needs a refresh, a light oil treatment will restore its sheen. The warm hue and lively grain of the walnut wood will only grow more beautiful over time, as the bench develops a patina.
An Entrance Bench with Soul and Story
At Noyer, we believe that furniture should be felt – both physically and emotionally. The JN22 Bench is meant to be used but also admired. It’s built to last, and its quality is reflected not just in construction, but in the feeling it leaves behind. An entrance bench from Noyer becomes part of your home’s story – a piece that accompanies you and grows even more characterful with time.
