Ooh la la! Found in Avignon, this 20th-century French bench is solid oak, a long plank top set on two crossed trestle legs joined by a stretcher running its length. Benches like this ran down the side of a farmhouse table, back when a household didn't own a chair for every person and everyone just squeezed up to make room for one more. The crossed frame and the long stretcher were built to take the weight of a whole family leaning in for a meal. Sylvie runs it along a table, or stands it in a hallway where people drop their bags and pull on their shoes.
