The Seat Quadro (model 02.176), designed by Iwona Żaczek, represents a minimalist approach to modern urban furniture. This modular, backless bench is engineered to integrate seamlessly into contemporary public spaces, squares, and plazas. Characterized by its precise square geometry measuring 23 ½ inches by 23 ½ inches, the seat offers a compact and functional solution for pedestrian-heavy environments. Its clean, architectural lines prioritize both form and utility, making it an essential component of high-end street furniture installations that require versatile seating arrangements.
Durability is at the core of the Quadro construction. The base frame is available in either robust carbon steel (S235JR), which is galvanized and powder-coated for superior weather resistance, or premium stainless steel (AISI 304) for environments requiring maximum longevity and aesthetic refinement. The seating surface is crafted from high-quality wood, with options including European coniferous wood, durable hardwood of European origin, or various exotic woods. These material choices ensure that the bench maintains its structural integrity while offering a warm, tactile contrast to the metal base, typical of professional benches designed for public use.
The Seat Quadro is designed for flexibility, allowing for either free-standing placement or secure installation via bolting to the ground. This versatility supports a wide range of landscape designs, from individual seating nodes to larger, connected modular groupings. With a weight profile ranging from 82 lb to 110 lb depending on the selected wood and frame material, the unit provides a stable and reliable seating experience. By combining rigorous material standards with a sophisticated design language, the Quadro series serves as a foundational element in comprehensive urban furniture planning, effectively balancing aesthetic elegance with the demands of daily public infrastructure.
