The Hutton Bench is manufactured using carefully selected timber suitable for long-term outdoor use, balancing visual quality with performance.
Available material options include:
• FSC® treated softwood as standard
• Hardwood iroko option for enhanced durability and colour retention
• Smooth, planed timber surfaces for user comfort
Timber selection can be aligned with wider street furniture palettes or existing landscape materials, offering a warmer alternative to all-metal street furniture bench designs.
Designed with simplicity in mind, the Hutton Bench provides comfortable seating without unnecessary visual complexity. Its backless form allows flexible use from either side and ensures the bench does not interrupt sightlines or pedestrian flow.
Design benefits include:
• Contemporary, understated appearance
• Suitable for both formal and informal seating areas
• Complements planting schemes, paths, and open spaces
This makes the bench particularly effective in environments where a softer presence is preferred over a traditional public bench in steel or cast iron.
To suit different site conditions and ground make-ups, the Hutton Bench can be specified with alternative fixing methods.
Fixing options include:
• Root fixed installation for permanent placement
• Base plated fixing where below-ground fixing is not suitable
In addition, bespoke lengths, widths, and heights can be produced to meet specific design or accessibility requirements, subject to agreement at specification stage.
The Hutton Bench is well suited to a wide range of public realm projects, including:
• Parks and recreational green spaces
• Streetscapes and pedestrian routes
• Residential developments and public courtyards
• Landscaped areas where timber seating is preferred to metal alternatives
It is often specified alongside complementary street furniture such as litter bins, bollards, or cycle parking to create a coordinated external works package.
