Cricket Forge's 'Butterfly Bench' would make a dramatic addition to any garden. The bench takes the form of an oversized butterfly that has its wings partly open. The lower half of the butterfly's body and bottom tips of its wings form the support for the bench and seating is located between the butterfly's incredible wingspan.
The bench is hand-finished to create a beautiful patina on the bench's frame that is as intricate and beautiful as a real butterfly. However, there is one feature that sets it apart from being like a real butterfly: the wings of a butterfly are traditionally quite delicate and frail, but this bench is constructed from solid steel. This fortified material ensures that this insect-inspired chair won't be flying away on a windy day outside.
