Exchange Storage Bench by Alex Bradley for Heal’s Discovers

Exchangeseat 
Until I saw this Exchange Storage Bench, I didn’t realise that this is exactly what my home is missing – a stylish place to perch while I make my weekly phone call to my mother.

Designer Alex Bradley has taken his inspiration from the 1950s telephone seat, both in the idea and the form with its midcentury style splayed legs. As well as being a seat and telephone table, it offers an additional piece of storage as the seat lifts up and the side section has a shelf for books or magazines.

It costs £795 from Heal’s.
