With its continuous rows of timber slats extending from the seat through to the backrest, it offers a cohesive and inviting form that supports both relaxation and long-term outdoor performance.
As part of the NUSSER range, the Desford I model combines architectural detailing with the structural strength required for busy public spaces, making it a dependable public outdoor bench for parks, streetscapes, and civic landscapes.
The addition of a supportive backrest makes the Desford I Seat particularly suitable for locations where users may pause for longer periods. Its contemporary profile ensures it integrates seamlessly into both urban and landscaped environments.
Typical applications include: • Public parks and gardens • Town centre pedestrian zones • Transport interchanges and waiting areas • Civic courtyards and regeneration schemes • Commercial developments and retail landscapes
This street bench with backrest provides an inclusive seating option for a wide range of public users.
Metal and Timber Bench Construction for Long-Term Durability
The Desford I Seat has been developed using high-quality materials chosen for resilience in exposed outdoor conditions.
Timber Slat Detailing
The uniform timber slats provide: • A warm, natural finish suitable for landscaped settings • Comfortable seating for everyday public use • Visual continuity from seat to backrest for a clean design language
This makes the Desford I a strong example of contemporary street furniture seating that balances comfort with architectural clarity.
Steel Frame Strength and Protection
All steel components are: • Hot dip galvanised for corrosion resistance • Powder coated in a dark metallic grey finish (similar to DB 703)
This treatment ensures the bench remains robust and visually consistent over time, even in demanding public environments.

Available options include: • Bench lengths up to 3000mm • Anchor mounting for secure, permanent installation • Integration within wider Desford and NUSSER seating schemes
These choices make it easier to deliver coordinated seating provision across larger public realm projects.
