Modern benches with the spirit of honest craftsmanship

People in the foothills of Beskydy Mountains (North Moravia) have always been handicraft capable, hardworking and steady people. Local hand made products are unique, honest and made with love. The garden and park benches OBISS are following up this tradition, in which we are creating them for more than 15 years at our family business in Palkovice close to Frýdek-Místek and Ostrava.

Why?

Despite of I am a foundry and metallurgy engineer, it fulfills me to create things with my hands. I love nature and staying at the garden. Once I wanted to beautify my garden somehow, and that is why the idea about construction of my own garden bench was born. A bench with interesting design, comfortable and maintenance free.

How?

The way from my idea to the product itself was a little bit tricky. It took several years of trying surface treatment, design, shapes and searching for ideal color combinations. The first three benches
I made for myself, then a few more for my friends and relatives followed by new customers. The protype of the bench found its place in my own garden at a little pond - and is now since 15 years my favorite place on warm summer nights. See the picture on the right side. Today my two sons are also helping me with crafting at home workshop.

For whom?

Of course for everyone who loves rest on the comfortable bench
in the middle of a green vegetation. For everyone who appreciate elegance, creativity and craftsmanship quality. Benches OBISS already beautify many parks and gardens in Czech Republic, Swizzerland, Germany and Austria. My first abroad customer was a Swiss man – owner of funeral house. He could not believe that
I made the bench on my own in a small home workshop. Also a Buddhists monk from Tibet, who lives permanently in Germany, bought my bench at the same gardens exhibition. So tell me, is there any better representation for benches than that? They might help you to your comfort, relaxation and harmony aswell…
