The Origami bench, catalog number 02.460.1, represents a sophisticated approach to modern street furniture, meticulously designed by Filip Babiarz. This modular seating solution is defined by its distinct geometric form, characterized by sharp, deliberate angles that evoke the complexity of paper-folding art. Standing at a height of 17 ¾ inches with a depth of 26 ¾ inches, the bench features an asymmetrical layout with a longer side measuring 92 ½ inches and a shorter side reaching 53 ½ inches. This unique configuration allows for versatile placement in diverse urban furniture arrangements, enabling the creation of dynamic, interconnected seating compositions in public spaces, plazas, and transit hubs.
Constructed with durability as a primary objective, the Origami bench frame is available in either robust carbon steel (S235JR) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term resistance to environmental factors. The seat surface is crafted from high-quality wood, with options including European coniferous wood, durable European hardwood, or premium exotic wood varieties. The spruce wood surfaces can be finished in a selection of lacquer colors, while exotic wood options retain their elegant natural tones. Weighing 157 lb, this bench provides a substantial and stable seating element that integrates seamlessly into contemporary architectural environments, prioritizing both structural integrity and visual clarity.
Engineered for secure and permanent installation, the Origami bench is designed for mounting directly to the ground via professional anchoring screws. This installation method ensures the stability of the modular unit, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic public areas where safety and reliability are paramount. As a representative piece of the Origami line, this urban furniture element exemplifies the balance between functional design and aesthetic innovation. By offering modularity and high-quality material choices, the Origami bench provides architects and urban planners with a flexible tool for enhancing the utility and appearance of modern cityscapes while maintaining a strict, minimalist design language consistent with high-end street furniture.
