5 Reasons the Apollo Bench Changes Outdoor Gatherings Forever

When it comes to staying outside, comfort is everything. Enter the Apollo Heated Bench: the first-ever outdoor bench designed to bring warmth, style, and flexibility to your favorite gathering spots. Here’s why we think it’s about to become your new go-to for year-round dining, connection, and ease.
1. The First Bench to Bring Warmth to the Table
Forget chilly seats and cut-short evenings—the Apollo Bench is the only heated outdoor dining bench on the market. Plug it in, dial up the comfort, and watch as fall dinners and late-season brunches turn into days spent lingering longer, together. Seasonality is no longer a limitation; it’s an invitation.
2. Flexibility That Fits Anywhere
With its streamlined, backless design and lightweight construction, the Apollo Bench is endlessly adaptable. Slide it under communal tables, tuck it into pass-through spaces, or use it on a small porch or patio—wherever you need warmth. Need to reconfigure your layout? The Apollo moves easily, bringing comfort wherever the gathering happens.
3. The Most Efficient Warmth, Period
Good design is about more than looks—it’s about using less to do more. The Apollo Bench uses just 450 watts to deliver steady, radiant heat (that’s far less than most space or propane patio heaters). Plug it into any standard outlet and enjoy warmth that’s gentle, even, and energy-wise.
4. The Next Chapter in Our Award-Winning Apollo Collection
The Apollo Bench draws inspiration from our celebrated Apollo Chair—a 2024 Wirecutter pick known for its sculptural presence and everyday comfort. This isn’t just another bench; it’s a natural extension of a collection beloved by critics and customers alike. Pair it with the Apollo Chair, Lounge, or Coffee Table for a complete, design-forward setting.
5. Signature G&J Warmth and Durability
Like all Galanter & Jones pieces, the Apollo Bench is cast in ultra-durable stone, designed to endure rain, snow, salt air, and sun for years—decades, with a little care. The surface warms to a sun-soaked 80–120°F, offering the same enveloping comfort that sets G&J apart. It arrives fully assembled and ready to transform patios, rooftops, and garden spaces into year-round destinations.
