The Leighton design of this three seater garden bench is a truly traditional design, using the same near forgotten
construction techniques of the original. - although the front legs look square in section, we use the original
technique of turning them on a lathe. Twenty or more legs are placed onto the outside of a drum which is then turned
on the lathe to make the profile detail on one face of the leg. The legs are then removed from the drum and turned 90
degrees before replacing them on the drum and turning again. The process is repeated until all four faces have been
turned. The result is a square seation moulded leg with each face slightly convex - almost unnoticeable unless you are
told the result has an extra dimension to it equal to the difference of a machine cut slab of marble to the marble on
the Taj Mahal. The slightly convex surface enhances the strength of the design by using this traditional technique. The
three seater Leighton garden seat was called 'The Pictshill Design in the J P White catalogue.
