The Acton Slat Bench
Celebrating an iconic American Designer: Hugh Acton

Hugh passed away in 2018 at age 93. He was an accomplished designer and pioneer of mid-century modern, as well as a sculptor, jewelry designer, and athlete. His furniture work was primarily focused around systems of design, and he never viewed one piece as a constant, finished product. 

The Acton Slat Bench was designed in 1954 while Hugh Acton was a design student at Cranbrook. It’s hard to overstate the impact this one school in Michigan had on modern design: Ray and Charles Eames, Florence Knoll, and Eero Saarinen all refined their perspectives on design here. It was in this post-war period, when everything was radically being rethought in design, that Hugh first stepped onto the Cranbrook campus.

True to its original form.

In partnership with the Acton estate, Floyd has ensured this reissue of Hugh Acton’s original design from the 1950s is true to its original elegant form, but with the introduction of new materials and modern engineering.

Re-engineered with classic materials.

Floyd has introduced new materials and modern engineering. Each Acton Bench comes with a certificate of authenticity. Optional add-on for a cushion designed by Floyd and made with Kvadrat fabric in Sisu.

Endlessly versatile.

Whether using the bench as the end table for your bed, a hallway entrance bench, a coffee table in your living room, or as a book and plant holder under a window, the bench looks elegant anywhere.
