Artisan Metalwork Dandelion Bench by Sally Bridge Metal

by Julia Millay Walsh 1

It's been a while since I've written one of these Crave Worthy posts. I've been waiting for a truly statement-making piece to come along . . . and this Dandelion Bench ($2,750) definitely fits the bill. From the playful, '50s-style metal backrest to the round, neon green cushions, this sophisticated seat stopped me dead in my tracks. You'd make a fabulous first impression by placing this bench in your foyer, don't you agree?

The bench is designed by Sally Bridge, a former fashion designer who began designing and making furniture in 2007 for a home she bought and renovated in Umbria, Italy. A modernist, she mixes fresh, fun shapes and rustic materials in a quirky way.

Do you love it as much as I do?
