The Little Red Bench: A Colorado Stone Story
As we dream our way into a new year—new spaces, new outdoor seating areas, new possibilities—it feels like the right time to share one of our favorite pieces: The Little Red Bench, made from authentic Colorado stone.
The name’s a playful wink to “The Little Red Hen”— where hard work and good quality pay off. She is full of character and classically unforgettable.
Our Little Red Bench is carved from Colorado red sandstone, pulled from the Northern Colorado region. It is rugged, natural texture with a rich blend of earthy red, rust, greys, purples and dark brown hues.
Born From the Red Stone of Colorado
It is truly incredible to drive into this part of the mountain range. The grandeur of the reds is spectacular in that its natural reds are soothing to the senses.
That natural variation makes Colorado sandstone a beautiful option for custom outdoor seating and handcrafted stone furniture. The rugged texture, natural fissures, organic patterns—they make each piece truly one of a kind. No two benches or tables will ever look the same, because the stone itself tells the story.
This material works beautifully for cozy outdoor seating areas, memory benches, garden focal points, lakeside settings, rustic or naturalistic designs—and it’s durable enough to last for decades.
Every project begins with discovery.
Premeir Multi-stone Red Flagstone Bench
For this bench, a striking triangular slab emerged during the design process—a piece of Colorado Red Stone so bold and sculptural that it became the heart of the whole thing. Once that triangle found its spot, the rest started to come together. Of course, “come together” means moving each stone a hundred times, adjusting an inch here, an eighth of an inch there, lifting, rotating, stepping back, trying again.
Then—wvaaaala! A completely unique piece of handcrafted outdoor furniture came to life. Not assembled. Crafted.
From Colorado to a Lakeside View in Ohio
The rich tones of the Colorado Red Sandstone glow against the background of a lake and the pines is a warm and grounding presence.
The combination of natural stone and handcrafted heavy duty steel base is what makes Stone 2 Furniture pieces distinctive. This bench doesn’t just sit in the landscape—it becomes part of it.
This is outdoor seating with soul.
The triangle back is unique and adds interest. Inviting you to come take a closer look.
