The Jake bench, born from its brother the Jake Chair is a quintessential Koskela piece, combining contemporary design with a playful twist. Released in 2013, it’s a remake of the old-school chair.  
The steel tube frame can be powder coated in a range of Koskela colours. For the seat, whitewashed plywood comes as standard or you can upgrade to upholstery. The bench comes with dome plastic feet.

What our clients say about us

The team at GECA is co-operative and their guidance ensured that we not only complied with green standards, but exceeded them. The process is credible and well-received in the market place and ensures that we are set apart from the not-so-genuine ‘greenwashing’ companies.

Fitting out such a large project with sustainably preferable furniture is rewarding. That a well-renowned and international company would choose to use GECA certified Office Link Group furniture is exciting and without doubt, a step in the right direction for improving sustainability in the workplace. The whole work zone looks great — the architect has done a wonderful job of creating the space. With the addition of the sustainably preferable products that are proven to improve the health and wellbeing of those in the workspace, it is now a really nice place to work.
