At the heart of the collection, the ribbon bench defines spaces, connects spaces, guides pedestrians, and can even form amphitheater-like circular or semicircular hubs that encourage community interaction.
Modular in construction, the ribbon bench can meander seamlessly throughout a complex streetscape. A thin layer of ultra-high performance concrete drapes like a mantle over cast aluminum supports to express an elegance, refinement and seemingly impossible lightness.
Optional backrests, armrests and extended functional surfaces can be added in strategic locations throughout the configuration.
Ribbon bench’s integral downward-facing lighting offers low-glare illumination around the feature, creating an illusion that the entire structure almost levitates.
