An extended architectural bench designed to anchor larger contemporary spaces.

The Tillikum Black — Long Oak Bench pairs warm natural red oak with matte black supports, creating a sculptural seating piece suited to entryways, hospitality interiors, bedrooms, and contemporary living spaces.

Designed by Kirk Van Ludwig and handcrafted in Canada.

Designed Around Contrast and Proportion

The Tillikum Black — Long Oak Bench explores the relationship between warmth, shadow, and architectural restraint.

A solid natural red oak seat is elevated on matte black supports, creating a long horizontal form that feels both grounded and visually light. The elongated proportion gives the bench an architectural presence that anchors bedrooms, entryways, and larger living spaces without visual heaviness.

Designed by Kirk Van Ludwig and handcrafted in Canada, the Tillikum Black Bench is suited to entryways, dining spaces, hospitality interiors, bedrooms, and contemporary living environments where calm material presence is preferred over ornamentation.

Each piece is made to order using sustainably sourced hardwood and finished in natural oil and wax to preserve grain depth, texture, and tactile richness.

Simply use a damp microfibre cloth. We recommend Osmo wash & care to retain lustre. Avoid soap cleaners, do not use glass cleaners on acrylic furniture.

We offer tailored alterations to size and material on many of our pieces - contact us to explore what's possible for your project.
