This commitment to structural integrity makes it an ideal solution for parks, transit hubs, and public plazas.
Functionality is at the core of the Photon collection’s design philosophy, offering extensive customization to meet the specific requirements of any street furniture project. Clients can select from a range of high-quality seating materials, including resilient European coniferous wood, durable hardwood of European origin, or premium oiled exotic wood. The ergonomic seat height of 17 3/4 inches ensures comfort for a wide demographic of users. Furthermore, the bench offers modular versatility through optional integrated components, such as a side table or bicycle racks positioned on either or both sides of the unit, allowing for the creation of multifunctional social zones within an urban environment.
Engineered for stability and ease of installation, the Photon bench utilizes a secure screw-mounting method, providing a permanent fixture suitable for high-traffic metropolitan areas. Depending on the chosen timber, the unit weight ranges from 295 lbs to 370 lbs, offering a grounded, reliable presence.
