URBAN EQUIPMENT - bench with back rest VOLUTA
The problem - how to adapt modern technology and design to preserve cultural heritage?
Design solution is a result of careful study of seating ergonomic requirements to allow comfortable and relaxed seating suitable for older and younger population. Bench looks extremely soft with rounded lines. Simple and modern approach to design with almost seamless decorative floral tendrils form which arised from the example of the design-decorative elements on the Zagreb architectural heritage of the 19th century, serves as a link between the styles that we can find walking through the parks in the city center –monuments of landscape architecture. It is an integrated part of the metal construction of the bench. The modern technology (laser cutting) is applied, as well as environmentally friendly materials (spruce or larch) and ecological surface protection. Metal construction is graphite black, while the wooden parts are protected with ecological glazes in shades of palisandar. Dimensions are: W 1800 x D 628 x H 754 mm
