Where Saints Go is a UK-based furniture brand specialising in high-quality design-led furniture that remains accessible and affordable for everyone. In their latest guide, they explore the drawbacks and benefits of multi-use furniture and explore how their brand-new Richmond Bench can be used as the perfect coffee table, ottoman, hallway seat and dressing room essential.
Tracey Hague is one-half of the founding duo, and is quick to address the common concerns of multifunctional furniture, “the phrase ‘multifunctional furniture’ often conjures up imagery of something ugly that sacrifices seamless design - think clunky folding tables and rock-hard sofa beds. For keen interior design aficionados, bringing multi-use furniture into a design-led space might feel like using a spork in a Michelin-starred restaurant. However, not all furniture is made equal. Aiming to mark the spot where divine design meets versatility, the Richmond Bench is a refined icon that can serve a few different purposes.”
The Richmond Bench, which is a brand-new addition to the WSG catalogue of fine furniture is inspired by classical design. It’s handcrafted from solid wood, rattan and foam to create a sturdy base with curving sides, and features an integrated shelf, cushioned seat upholstered in natural linen and flawless piped edging.
In the guide, the brand’s interior experts have compiled a list of different ways the Richmond can be used, along with accessorising and styling tips.
