A Doodle Bench Designed for Schools and Play Settings
The Doodle Bench is a compact seating solution designed for environments where scale and safety are as important as durability. Set to child-friendly dimensions, it provides a practical rest point for school-age users in playgrounds, courtyards and recreation areas, while remaining suitable for everyday supervision and waiting areas.
Its simple form makes it easy to place along play space edges and circulation routes, providing seating without introducing bulky street furniture that can interrupt sightlines or movement.
Steel-Framed Bench Construction with Iroko Timber Slats
The Doodle Bench combines a galvanised steel frame with iroko timber slats, delivering a familiar timber-and-steel aesthetic in a smaller, child-focused format. The frame is designed for outdoor use and finished with a polyester powder coat, supporting long service life in exposed locations.
Construction highlights include:
• Galvanised steel-framed bench construction for corrosion resistance
• Iroko timber slats to provide a warm, comfortable contact surface
• Compact proportions suited to child-friendly seating areas
• Robust build designed for repeated daily use in school environments
As a timber-and-steel bench, it offers a practical balance of comfort, strength, and straightforward upkeep.
