Gio Bench — 32" Floor Sample | Ready to Ship

The Gio Bench is a sophisticated reinterpretation of Gio Ponti’s modernism, where architectural form meets modern functionality. Defined by its signature angled legs and subtle metal sabots, the bench combines sculptural presence with refined mid-century elegance.

The upholstered cushion, elevated by discreet metal risers, creates a sense of lightness while balancing comfort and structure, making the Gio Bench a versatile addition to an entryway, bedroom, living room, or dressing area.

This 32-inch floor sample is crafted in oak with our Black Ceruse finish and upholstered in off-white wool, creating a striking contrast between the deeply textured dark wood and the soft, neutral upholstery.

Designer Floor Sample — Available Now

This floor sample is part of our Designer Ready Collection, a curated selection created specifically for interior designers and clients working within shorter project timelines who cannot accommodate our standard made-to-order lead times.

Unlike our bespoke Gio Benches, which are made to order, this piece is available directly from our sales floor and ready to ship, allowing designers to incorporate a Stamford Modern Studio Original into a project without waiting for production.

Designer Story — Carlos Solano

Carlos Solano’s approach to design is rooted in the balance that defines mid-century modernism—simple forms elevated by rich, honest materials. Each piece begins with these timeless principles but is thoughtfully adapted for modern living. His design language is marked by architectural lines, natural materials, and quiet restraint, where a single thoughtful detail can define the whole.

The Studio Originals collection embodies this philosophy. Conceived to offer timeless mid-century foundations, each piece invites clients to make it their own through bespoke customization. No two spaces or clients are alike, and this adaptability ensures every design feels both personal and enduring.

Handcrafted in Connecticut. Serving clients in CT, NY, NJ, and nationwide.
