Vestre’s JUNE bench seamlessly combines soft curves, durable materials, and iconic Scandinavian design to offer a fresh take on the classic public bench. With gentle oval contours, rounded legs, and balanced proportions, JUNE strikes a harmony between warmth and structure. Designed by Espen Voll, Tore Borgersen, and Michael Olofsson and debuted at the 2025 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture, it redefines public seating by inviting rest, reflection, and connection in both familiar and innovative ways.

JUNE by Anderssen & Voll, won a 2025 Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design, and Urban Studies.

Every detail, from recessed screws to concealed frames, demonstrates Vestre’s commitment to responsible design, ensuring both longevity and minimal environmental impact.

Versatile and modular, JUNE’s system allows limitless configurations that give designers complete freedom, whether envisioned as a single seat or a continuous arrangement. Customizable back heights, armrests, and finishes in nearly 200 colors make it adaptable to any setting, from urban squares and campuses to scenic viewpoints.
