Typically found tucked away in less desirable areas, benches with concrete bases and plain wooden boards are often overlooked. This design is a modern reinterpretation of that humble element, maintaining simplicity and directness while introducing refined forms and subtle details. The result is an original, contemporary design that feels archetypally familiar.
The bench is available in two versions: one with a backrest and one without. It can be configured in long rows, arranged in an arch or circle, or installed on a wall. The solid concrete bases come in two shades and are connected by hardwood or thermally modified wood slats. All auxiliary steel components are either galvanized or stainless steel. The bench can be surface-mounted for added versatility.
