A Steel Framed Timber Seat with Strong Visual Presence
The Roslin steel-framed timber seat is designed for public realm schemes where timber should be the dominant visual and tactile element, while the structure remains robust and long-lasting. Its proportions and detailing elevate the familiar park bench form, making it suitable for prominent locations where seating contributes to the character of the wider landscape design.
Roslin works well as a feature bench in town centres and parks, while still performing as dependable street-furniture seating in high-footfall environments.
Slatted Timber Focus with a Robust Supporting Frame
