JONES Malawi Bench / Coffee Table - Brushed Matt Black

JONES Malawi Bench / Coffee Table - Brushed Matt Black | Online8 New Zealand

The Malawi is a low, long bench and coffee table in one, built from recycled pine and finished in brushed matt black. At 1000 × 400mm and only 420mm high, its narrow profile suits a compact lounge, the foot of a bed, or a hallway where a full-depth coffee table would crowd the space.

Why It Stands Apart

• Works as a bench or a table: The 420mm height sits right for both seating and a coffee table, so it can change roles as a room does.
• Recycled pine: Made from reclaimed timber, giving the piece genuine grain and history rather than a uniform factory surface.
• Brushed matt black finish: The brushing keeps the wood grain visible through the black, avoiding the flat, painted look of cheaper finishes.
• Hand-finished surfaces: Part of the Belgian-designed JONES collection, where each surface is completed by hand.
• Narrow 400mm depth: Slim enough to sit against a wall or in a tight lounge without dominating the floor.
• Sculptural legs: The distinctive leg design gives a simple form real visual interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I actually sit on it, or is it just a coffee table?
Both. At 420mm high it's designed to work as a bench as well as a low table.

How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, use coasters, and wipe up spills as soon as they happen.

I've noticed small changes in the wood — is that a fault?
No. Wood is a natural material, and changes in ambient air temperature cause it to expand and contract. Small movement in the timber is expected and not considered a defect.

Can I use it outdoors?
No — this is an indoor piece only.
