“I learned to read wood before I learned to read words. Some things just come first.”
Ngoc Vo grew up in her grandfather’s woodworking shop, where she was taught that the hands should understand before the eyes even notice. That philosophy still shows in the way she works today.
She’s the craftswoman behind many of Ashdeco’s tree bookshelves and wall tree shelves - pieces that require turning a straight block of wood into branches that feel naturally grown instead of artificially designed. It’s delicate work, somewhere between sculpture and stubbornness.
Customers often ask her how the branches end up looking “so real.”
Ngoc Vo usually smiles and says, “Because I’m not trying to make it look real. I’m trying to make it be real.”

Fluid Wave Architecture Meets Functional Statement Seating Elevate your entryway foyer, gallery hallway, or living room sanctuary with this handcrafted sculptural solid wood bench by Ashdeco. Characterized by its dramatic double wave arch crest that flows seamlessly into rounded organic legs and a recessed seating base, this architectural statement piece elevates timber furniture into pure kinetic art. Designed as a captivating centerpiece, it offers a sturdy, balanced seating platform while casting graceful, open shadows across your living space.
Authentic Solid Wood Craftsmanship Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood slabs, shaping the continuous sweeping double arch backrest, rounded hollow side loops, and substantial organic legs demands master-level artisan woodworking. Running your hands across the silky timber contours reveals the rich grain depth, warm walnut undertones, and substantial tactile presence of authentic wood. Every single bench possesses its own distinct natural identity - showcasing continuous grain flows following every twist of the curves, soft bullnose rims, and authentic timber knot signatures that deepen in character over time. A clear protective matte finish shields the wood against daily wear, ambient humidity, and dust while preserving its smooth, natural touch.
Why Choose This Sculptural Double Wave Bench?
Signature Double Wave Arch Architecture: Dynamic sinuous curves create an eye-catching open visual lightness while providing robust, wobble-free structural stability.
Recessed Seating Deck: Designed with a dedicated horizontal solid wood seat bed that functions beautifully as a pure wooden bench or can accommodate your preferred custom cushions and throws.
Sculpted Monolithic Legs: Thick, rounded organic leg pillars anchor the piece securely to the floor for long-lasting stability.
Versatile Modern Aesthetic: Pairs effortlessly with Japandi, organic modern, wabi-sabi, Scandinavian, and contemporary minimalist luxury interiors.
Customization & Sizing Options Because each bench is individually handcrafted from natural solid wood, Ashdeco offers bespoke tailoring to fit your room dimensions and seating requirements.
Custom Dimensions: Need an extended 3-seater width, deeper seat platform, or adjusted seat height? We offer full custom-sizing services.
Timber Finish Adjustments: Custom wood stain tones or matte finish levels can be tailored upon request for an additional fee.
Natural Wood Variations: As an authentic solid wood creation, natural variations in arch curvature, grain swirls, shade depth, and subtle timber knot signatures are genuine marks of real wood craft.
Substantial Solid Wood Mass: Due to the dense, high-grade timber construction, this bench is heavy and grounded, ensuring complete anti-wobble seating stability.
Bench Frame Only: This listing includes the solid wood bench frame only (seat cushion is not included); coat tree, framed wall art, coat, and area rug are sold separately.
Care Instructions: Dust regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Promptly wipe away moisture and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners to preserve the smooth protective wood finish.

Craftsmanship vs factory

Soul of wood
No two tables are ever the same
Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
