As a tastemaker, we bring together emerging artists and designers whose work is as distinctive as the people who collect it. If it’s here, it’s because it’s exceptional.

About Our Name

Jeffrey’s vintage jewelry bench is a powerfully present icon of his craft and our symbol of all makers’ tools for creating: the painter’s canvas, the textile designer’s loom, the potter’s wheel, the materials that become things…

Our mission—narrative’s ability to connect through thoughtful investigations of craft, subjects and inspirations—is the poetry, and about people and the appreciation of beauty.

Poet and/the Bench is our platform—online and at our flagship store in Mill Valley, CA—to introduce emerging and independent artists, muses and uncommon discoveries, and give them a voice. And for you to be linked to stories in a way that makes it all more personal.
