Vintage 1960s Witco "Wave" Carved Wood Bench – Mid-Century Tiki Brutalist – Leopard Print

Bring the ultimate "Jungle Room" energy into your space with this iconic, authentic 1960s Mid-Century Modern "Wave" bench by Witco. Designed by William Westenhaver, this sculptural statement piece perfectly captures the bold, dramatic essence of the post-war Polynesian Pop and tiki-revival era.

Crafted from solid cypress/swamp cedar, the base features Witco’s signature deeply hand-carved relief waves along the front skirt, dramatic scrolled flared arms, and their unmistakable torch-scorched, dark-patina finish. The chunky, brutalist silhouette is perfectly balanced by a plush leopard print cushion, offering a spectacular mix of tropical mid-century design and maximalist allure.

Whether placed at the foot of a bed, anchoring an entryway, or taking center stage in a home tiki bar or stylized studio, this rare piece is a bona fide conversation starter.
