Contemporary public bench Origami

oakmahoganypowder-coated steel

The pleat-like folds in this design were inspired by origami, the Japanese art of crafting objects from folded paper. Like origami, this bench has been designed with crisp ‘folds’ that form the seat and shape the backrest. The result is a park bench that appears to balance weightlessly on the front edge, but is anchored to the ground by sturdy metal supports. The seat and backrest are made in oiled oak, oiled mahogany or sioo treated oak. The supporting braces are made in 8 mm sheet steel. The steel is zinc-electroplated, gold-chromed and powder-coated in RAL 6012. Other colours are available upon request. Assembly and placement Fully assembled. Ground-mounted. Should be bolted to a precast concrete foundation with bolts M10. Bolts are not included. Maintenance Oil as needed. Scratches to the slats can be repainted with alkyd oil enamel. Character A striking bench characterised by crisp folds that conceal the legs, form the seat and shape the backrest.
