A Street Bench for Modern Urban Environments
The Caerphilly range has been developed for architects, local authorities, and contractors specifying seating within busy public spaces. Its understated form makes it a versatile street bench that integrates easily into both contemporary and heritage-sensitive settings.

• Treated FSC® (FSC-C122338) softwood
• FSC® (FSC-C122338) hardwood

This flexibility allows specifiers to match the bench to project budgets, aesthetic preferences, and expected levels of public use.
