Ondarreta Tam Double Backless Bench

Ondarreta Tam Double Backless Bench

The Ondarreta Tam Double Backless Bench is a two-person bench from the Tam collection, designed for office seating where an open, backless form is preferred. Its defining difference from an upholstered chair is a seat without a backrest or upholstery, combining steel, stained oak and birch plywood in a straightforward, fixed configuration.

Backless Bench Design

This double bench seats two without adding a backrest, keeping the design visually open and avoiding the enclosed profile of a conventional chair. That makes it worth considering when you want shared seating with a simple silhouette rather than individual, upholstered seats.

The backless construction also means there is no lumbar support or headrest. It is therefore best understood as a bench for users who are comfortable choosing their own posture, rather than a chair intended to provide supported seating through adjustable back features.

There is no seat-height, seat-depth or back-height adjustment, and the bench has no mechanism. The fixed setup keeps operation simple, but it will not adapt to different seat heights or personal ergonomic preferences. Consider those trade-offs when choosing it for a shared workspace.

Steel and Timber Construction

Ondarreta combines a steel base with stained oak and birch plywood. This mix gives buyers a clear material contrast between the metal base and timber elements, while the unupholstered seat avoids adding a fabric or padded covering to the design.

Because the bench has no upholstery, there is no textile finish to coordinate with the room or upholstery material to select. The listed upholstery-color options do not apply to this model’s construction; focus instead on the timber and steel elements when assessing how it will sit alongside other furniture.

The product is PEFC certified and identified as circular in its product data. These details may be relevant to buyers comparing furniture by certification and circularity, without implying any additional material, sourcing or end-of-life specifications beyond those stated.

Office Seating Considerations

As a double office bench, the Tam offers a shared seating format rather than two separately adjustable chairs. Its fixed, backless arrangement can suit an office that needs uncomplicated two-person seating, provided users do not require back support, upholstery or individual adjustments.

The model is listed with a two-year warranty. For a practical purchasing decision, compare the bench’s fixed seat arrangement with the way people will use the seating: it prioritizes a simple bench format, while users seeking adjustable height, lumbar support or a headrest will need a different type of chair.

Choose this Ondarreta Tam bench when the key requirements are seating for two, a backless design and a combination of steel, stained oak and birch plywood. Its clear set of features makes it easier to assess whether a non-upholstered, non-adjustable bench is the right fit for your office seating needs.
