The Origami bench, catalog number 02.460, represents a sophisticated approach to modern street furniture, characterized by its distinctive angular form and modular design. Designed by Filip Babiarz, this bench without a backrest draws inspiration from the art of paper folding, resulting in a geometric silhouette that seamlessly integrates into contemporary urban furniture layouts. Its versatile construction allows for creative arrangements in public squares, corporate courtyards, and modern architectural landscapes, where it serves as both a functional seating solution and a sculptural aesthetic element.
Engineered for durability and longevity in high-traffic environments, the Origami bench is available in two robust base configurations: carbon steel (S235JR) or premium stainless steel (AISI 304). The seating surface is meticulously crafted from high-quality timber, offering a selection of European coniferous wood, durable hardwood of European origin, or luxurious exotic wood. Whether finished with lacquered European spruce or treated with natural oils for exotic species, the wood provides a tactile warmth that balances the industrial precision of the metal frame. The structural integrity is further reinforced by a secure mounting method, designed to be bolted directly to the ground for maximum stability.
Measuring 17 ¾ inches in height and 15 ¾ inches in depth, the Origami bench offers an ergonomic profile suitable for short-term rest in public spaces. The modular nature of the design—featuring a longer side of 53 ½ inches and a shorter side of 31 inches—enables designers to compose unique seating configurations that adapt to the topography of any site. Weighing between 79 lb and 157 lb depending on the selected material, the unit maintains a stable presence in any urban setting. By combining high-grade materials with thoughtful geometry, this piece exemplifies the high standards of ZANO street furniture, providing a resilient and stylish addition to any infrastructure project.
