woodenmodified woodwithout armrests

Overview
The Solid Crosswise Terraces are modular terraced seating elements designed to form multifunctional outdoor seating areas and informal amphitheatre layouts with high seating capacity.

Design & Composition
Seating surfaces and vertical back cladding are built from Solid slats. The base structure uses modular Corten steel components. As an alternative to hardwood, the recycled material Cloudy Grey (100% recycled LDPE) is available. Dimensioning and layout are project-based and developed in collaboration with the client. Slat sizes: seating 7 x 7 cm; cladding 3.5 x 7 cm.

Applications

• Urban terraces and stepped seating for plazas and promenades
• Informal amphitheatres and park seating
• Flexible formations for events and public spaces

Materials (high-level)

• Base structure: modular Corten steel elements (weathering steel)
• Metal finishes: powder coating available for steel and aluminium components (RAL colours on request)
• Seating/cladding options: Cumaru (FSC® 100%), Jatoba (FSC® 100%), Accoya (FSC® Mix 70%), Cloudy Grey (100% recycled LDPE)

Maintenance
Maintenance depends on material selected: Corten steel requires no finishing and develops a protective patina; hardwoods (Cumaru, Jatoba, Accoya) are low-maintenance and can be sanded if necessary; Cloudy Grey recycled material requires no maintenance.
