The Venus Bench was only named in 2014 by the British retailer The John Lewis Partnership when they re-launched the Bench and accompanying Chair GE1936 on the occasion of their 150th anniversary. These classic designs  had been out of production for over six decades since they had last been manufactured by the Danish company Fritz Hansen.
