GL101 Timbur Outdoor Bench

Icelandic minimalism meets modern outdoor living with the GL101 Timbur Outdoor Bench from Carl Hansen. Designed in 2023 by Gudmundur Ludvik, this debut piece by the Icelandic designer embodies a deep respect for nature and traditional craftsmanship. With his background as a carpenter and cabinetmaker, Ludvik has honed a minimalist approach that’s all about simplicity and elegance—and it’s clear in every detail of this stunning bench. Crafted from FSC™-certified teak, this bench blends form and function in perfect harmony. “Timbur,” meaning "timber" in Icelandic, celebrates the natural beauty of untreated wood that patinates over time, creating a unique look as it weathers. The bench’s modular, flat-packed design is stripped back to focus on the beautiful joinery and the robust strength of the materials.
