When Sweco Arkitekter was commissioned by Jernhusen to redesign Centralplan outside Stockholm Central Station, a new line of park benches was installed to the site. The seating made for the site was designed by landscape architect Fredrik Toller with Nola chosen as the manufacturing partner. As the name Arkipelag (Swedish for ‘archipelago’) suggests, the seating is conceived as a cluster of small islands. They make space for plants and shrubs, and provide a combination of simple bench seats and park bench designs made with back- and armrests.

Character
