These benches (some with backs, some have the back removed as shown in this photo) are in the lobby and various areas at IKEA but they are not available at IKEA and none of the employees have a clue where they got them, it's not an IKEA product - far more durable than anything IKEA sells, just "maybe some office furniture place in Denver". It's a long shot but have any of you seen this bench at any store in Denver or have any ideas on where a person would look for industrial furniture in the greater Denver area?

That looks like something that was commissioned for that project. Its common on commercial projects for them to design custom furniture and have it built out by a local company. Does the bench pictured have any kind of makers info on the bottom of it? If its a commercially available piece there should be at the minimum a company name on the bottom, if no info on it its probably custom.

If you want to have it built any cabinet shop/furniture maker should be able to replicate it off the picture. I know the guy that makes all of the tables and bar tops for all of the Kitchen and Kitchen Next Door restaurants, everything he does is custom work like this. His shop is over off of Arapahoe by Efrains.
