A Chevron Bench Designed to Add Definition to Public Spaces
The Blox Chevron Bench is a modern park bench created to bring variation and rhythm to outdoor seating schemes. Its angled form breaks away from traditional straight benches, allowing designers to introduce directional flow and visual structure within public realm layouts.
It is well-suited to:
- Town centres and pedestrianised streets
- Parks and landscaped public spaces
- Commercial developments and office forecourts
- Education campuses and civic environments
- Regeneration and placemaking projects
The chevron form works equally well as a single statement piece or as part of a wider seating arrangement.
Angled Seating for Flexible Layouts
The defining feature of this chevron bench is its angled seating profile, which allows benches to be arranged in dynamic patterns rather than linear runs. This makes it particularly effective for guiding movement, framing spaces or creating informal gathering areas.
Design benefits include:
- Angled geometry that adds visual interest
- Ability to create zig-zag or directional seating layouts
- A format that complements both open and constrained spaces
- Seating that encourages varied social interaction
This flexibility supports more engaging and contemporary public realm design.
Timber Construction with Optional Comfort Features
The bench is constructed using high-quality timber slats, selected for durability and comfort in outdoor environments. Optional steel armrests can be specified to improve accessibility and support inclusive seating design.
Material and comfort features include:
- Responsibly sourced timber for long-term outdoor use
- Timber finishes chosen to weather naturally over time
- Optional armrests to assist sitting and standing
- Seating designed for both short rests and longer stays
These features make the bench suitable for a wide range of public users.
Modular Public Bench within the Blox Range
As part of the wider Blox street furniture collection, the Chevron Bench is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Blox elements. It pairs particularly well with planters and seated planter modules to create cohesive, well-considered environments.
Specification advantages include:
- Compatibility with other Blox benches and planters
- Use as a standalone feature or repeated module
- Easy integration into coordinated public realm schemes
- Suitable for contemporary and traditional settings alike
This modular approach supports consistency across larger projects.
A Contemporary Concrete Bench Alternative in Timber Form
While often specified alongside concrete bench solutions, the Blox Chevron Bench offers a timber-based alternative that delivers warmth and comfort without sacrificing durability. Its angled form provides a modern interpretation of traditional public seating.
A Distinctive Public Bench for Modern Landscapes
With its bold geometry, durable timber construction and modular compatibility, the Blox Chevron Bench delivers a refined public bench solution for outdoor spaces. It offers designers a way to introduce character, guide movement and create engaging seating layouts across streets, parks and civic environments.
Flexible and Versatile Seating Application
Perfect for urban landscapes, the Chevron Bench works beautifully as a standalone feature or as part of a larger Blox arrangement. The timber slatted bench can be fitted with steel armrests to provide enhanced comfort for all users, while its responsibly sourced construction ensures lasting strength and performance.
