• Timber slats selected for external durability

This combination results in a timber and steel bench capable of withstanding the demands of busy public realm environments.

Size options support:
• Short stay seating along pedestrian routes
• Longer benches for social or communal areas
• Consistent visual rhythm across larger schemes
Customisation options allow the bench to be coordinated with surrounding materials and finishes while retaining its natural character.
The Florence commercial outdoor bench is designed for secure installation within hard landscaping schemes. Fixing methods can be selected to suit paving build-ups and ground conditions, ensuring stability and compliance with site requirements.
Specifiers and contractors should consider:
• Orientation relative to movement patterns and sightlines
• Ground preparation and fixing depth
• Coordination with paving joints and drainage
Early consideration of these factors helps ensure the bench performs as intended throughout its service life.
The Florence is often specified alongside other street furniture bench elements, litter bins, planters, and cycle parking to create a cohesive public realm environment. Its restrained design allows it to complement both contemporary and heritage-led schemes without visual dominance.
