alexandria bench

The Alexandria Bench, inspired by the Library. Some 2,300 years ago, the library at Alexandria was the world’s greatest center of learning. Today we know little about it. It is believed that a number of fires destroyed the library, including the books that had all been written by hand. These fires caused students and teachers to abandon Alexandria, the book depository and the 13 lecture halls that annexed it. The Alexandria Bench can be used solo or with the Giza Table. Tight fitting cushions can be added, sold separately. Leg extensions can also be purchased for a growing child. Suitable for children ages 2 to 6.

Designer

A note from the designer: Based on the world in which we live, and the world we will leave our children and families, Argington follows a clear and decisive path towards minimizing our environmental impact and providing environmentally healthy products through sustainable design and manufacturing. Thoughtful and intelligent design is essential for sustainability. Our furniture is designed with longevity and re-usability as an essential criterion. We offer adjustable seating that grows with your child, table tops that are reusable and also are adjustable, cribs that convert to toddler beds, space saving trundle beds, and storage solutions that are multifunctional and adaptable to a myriad of styles and conditions. We create designs that are crafted to be timeless and can easily be passed from one child to the next. Argington uses 99% wood products in it’s furniture, with virtually no mdf, particle board, flake board or other similar engineered wood products. The wood comes from managed renewable forests established specifically to provide long-term responsible solutions towards the growing demand of timber related products – FSC certified. Our finishes are non-toxic and can withstand the test of time. Aside from our solid wood components, the birch plywood used in our products are made with low emission glues which nearly eliminate long term emissions and off-gassing. We have even coordinated efforts with our energy efficient production facilities to develop manufacturing processes that help maximize yield and minimize waste of raw material.
