The Bench that Started It All: The Idaho Bench
When I first embarked on the journey of creating Blurry Beast Enterprises, it was all about fun and creativity. I wanted to design map assets that would add a unique charm to my own properties. Little did I know that a simple stroll around the greenbelt in Idaho Falls, Idaho, would spark an idea that would shape a project for my business. It was on that walk that I spotted a bench that would become the inspiration for the bench collection.
A Bench for Every State: The Grand Vision
The moment I saw that bench, I thought, why stop at Idaho? Why not create a bench for each state in the United States? It’s an ambitious project, one that will take some time, but I’m loving every minute of it. Starting with my home state just felt right.
The Idaho Bench: A Tribute to Home
The Idaho Bench isn’t just a piece of furniture; it’s a homage to the rich geological and cultural heritage of Idaho. Crafted to mimic the look of travertine, this bench has a story etched into every detail.
The Beauty of Travertine
Travertine, a type of limestone formed by mineral springs, particularly hot springs, is a significant part of Idaho’s geological identity. These quarries, scattered throughout the state, are remnants of the Yellowstone Super Volcano’s ancient journey across the Snake River Plain. As the volcano moved, it left behind deposits of this beautiful stone, which now find new life in the design of the Idaho Bench.
Unique Features of the Idaho Bench
What sets the Idaho Bench apart is its distinctive features that celebrate the state’s uniqueness:
- State-Shaped Supports: Each bench support is carved in the shape of Idaho, making it instantly recognizable and a perfect representation of state pride.
- State Seal and Potatoes: The backrest proudly displays the state seal, accompanied by the phrase “Famous Potatoes.” Because, let’s face it, an Idaho bench wouldn’t be complete without a nod to its famous spuds!

Imagine placing the Idaho Bench in your Upland property. It’s not just a seat; it’s a conversation starter, a piece of history, and a testament to the beauty and uniqueness of Idaho. Every time you or a visitor takes a seat, it’s a reminder of the rich heritage and natural beauty of the Gem State.

The Idaho Bench is just the beginning. As I work on creating a bench for every state, I’m excited about the stories and designs that will come to life. Each bench will capture the essence of its state, providing a unique way to decorate and personalize properties in Upland.
