Lucky Lutyens Bench
The famed late 19th century Edwardian architect Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed a garden bench similar in style to ours. The story goes that while Sir Edwin worked in close partnership with the esteemed garden designer Gertrude Jekyll he was also closely aligned with the world of Fairy who’s esthetic sensitivities strongly influenced his architectural designs. It should be noted that this particular bench was first discovered in a tiny garden in Lower or Nether Swell, just outside Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire. Very coincidently, Lutyens was, at the time, in the throws of redesigning Abbotswood at Lower Swell for his clients Mark and Molly Fenwick. Hmm, all good design draws its inspiration from somewhere. Lucky Lutyens! The sweeping curves of the bench are like a lullaby to a fairy, which is why you’ll often catch one taking naps on a Lutyens bench on sunny days.
