Featuring a mortice and tenon frame, custom doweling, and a handwoven seat, the Papyri Bench is artisan-crafted from recyclable paper cord, and sustainably harvested North American Hardwoods.

The seat features a continuous run of Danish paper cord woven around "L Shaped Nails" in a traditional binder-cane method of warped pairs. The bench frame is constructed with floating tenon joinery and both legs and dowel stretchers are hand-sculpted with spokeshave, gauge, and file to allow for seamless transitions and sturdy joinery.

About the Maker - Ellis Table Co

Ellis Table’s Founder, Carter Ellis, comes from a background in hospitality and community development and built his first table to host friends and neighbors, desiring a place where all might experience welcome. While they now build more than just tables, the theme of that first piece is at the heart of the company.

Ellis Table strives to make all of their pieces in a way that encourages community; from the way their shop is a home for collaboration with other makers and artisans to their focus on furniture that inspires and facilitates life together. Carter’s style is influenced by Shaker, Scandinavian, and Japanese design with a focus on their clean lines, strong and traditional joinery, and a simplicity of form that highlights skilled craftsmanship.
