Paul László was a Hungarian-born architect and designer who fled Nazi persecution in Europe and rebuilt his career from a Beverly Hills studio on Rodeo Drive.

The Arcadia Bench 1950 completes Paul László’s Arcadia seating group for Glenn of California, stretching the collection’s woven rattan and warm ash construction into a longer, communal format built for entryways, hallways, or the foot of a bed. Where the chair and ottoman offer solitary comfort, the bench reflects László’s broader interest in furniture that could gather people together within the airy, indoor-outdoor houses of postwar Los Angeles.

Finished in tobacco-toned ash with a matte varnish, the bench’s seat and back are woven in tinted rattan exactly as on its companion pieces, ensuring visual continuity across the full Arcadia range. Circa 1950 and documented through Julius Shulman’s archival photography at the Getty Research Institute, the bench is reissued today by Ecart, allowing this once-overlooked corner of László’s American output to furnish contemporary interiors once again.
