German term

Farnbank

German to English Marketing Furniture / Household Appliances
Hello everybody,

I have a problem with the word "Farnbank" in further sentence :

Vom eleganten Sichtschutz bis zum luftigen Pavillon, von stylishen Barmöbeln bis zur historischen Farnbank – unsere Neuheiten verheißen einen wunderbaren Sommer.

Everything is OK for me, but this word "Farnbank". Does anyone know what it is ?

The document from which this sentence is extracted is the catalog of a furniture brand. I am translating this catalog from German to French, but any explanations in English would help, I think.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, there's a problem with the magazine's website URLs. If you search for Farnbank on that page, it links to a picture of one. If you can't be bothered (I wouldn't!) you could just take my word for it :-)

I imagine it is a bench with fern motif, but your German ref doesn't work Phil, it just goes to a list of magazines

As my references show, it's a bench decorated with fern motifs. This is a furniture company rather than a gardening equipment supplier.

Blumenbank??? Found the website, but searching for Farnbank there resulted in zero hits, looking through benches also zero hits... the question is, is it a bench with fern motive or something like a Blumenbank to have flower pots off the floor and possibly arrange them on different levels? Cannot hurt to ask the supplier, but as they have mostly outdoor furniture, the solution of a bench with fern motive is quite likely...
