Vintage Chinese "Kung Fu" Bench

The gorgeous long bench has a lovely rich elm wood colour. Nicely grooved legs and wider seat. Perfect for your house in France or Castle in Scotland.
 
These benches were nicknamed Kung Fu benches because they were commonly found in homes, tea houses, and taverns all over China and could be turned into weapons. Kung Fu masters trained their students how to repurpose everyday objects against conventional weapons and take the advantage. It sounds boring now but in our home these hold candles and vases and sit nicely underneath some big street art. Their slim design doesn't take up floor space into your room so they can fit perfectly in hallways or wherever.
