THE HALL bench may seem BASIC, but its origin story is far from one-note. In Medieval times, they were used for dining and even sleeping; in the Victorian era, ornate benches were placed in the foyer to impress visitors. Though today’s hall benches typically have more discrete proportions, our choices are also meant to make a splash while still being eminently functional.
