Benches, Fort Collins
We’ve been hard at work crafting two unique and stunning stone benches for The Rock Garden in Fort Collins. The beautiful limestone with its light grey tones and a touch of gold was selected for this project. It has been exciting to work with. While both benches are crafted from the same exquisite stone, each offers a completely distinct look, adding its own character to the landscape.

The moment we laid eyes on the limestone, we were captivated by its natural beauty. Inspired by its smooth surface, unyielding hardness, and striking greyish-white color gradients, we envisioned honoring a majestic mountain range with our first piece. By incorporating angled textures and the flowing curves of a weathered mountain ridge, we sculpted this vision to life. This bench is a bright and sculpted center piece in any garden. Every line and contour reflects the artistry and resilience of nature, celebrating the beauty of earth.

For the second piece, it was all about the layers. The stone’s sedimentary formations, built up over millennia, seemed to coalesce in timeless layers. Garry brought these layers to life, carefully uncovering their natural textures. This sedimentary rock is primarily composed of calcium carbonate and forms from the shells and remains of marine organisms such as coral, often filled with visible fossils that tell a story of ancient life. The simplicity in its color allows its hand worked shape and texture of the stone to take center stage.The result is a bench that not only showcases the stone’s inherent beauty but also celebrates its history—a truly one-of-a-kind creation that blends art with geology.

A standard bench features a 2.25” lifted angle that extends from the back of the knees to the tailbone. This thoughtfully designed angle offers a level of comfort that effectively supports both the back and the hips, making it an ideal choice for relaxation. In contrast, a loveseat is designed with an even deeper 75* angle, providing a welcoming and cozy back body hug that enhances your overall experience with your furniture. Loveseats can come with arms for added support or no arm designs for a more spacious feel.
Look a little closer you can see the difference in the seat angle between the Standard Stone Bench and the Loveseat.
