The Reliq Bench (02.013.2), designed by Michał Gzela, represents a sophisticated advancement in modern urban furniture. This double-sided bench with backrest is engineered to serve as a central focal point in public spaces, parks, and plazas where high-capacity seating and architectural symmetry are required. The construction is defined by a clean, minimalist aesthetic that allows the product to integrate seamlessly into diverse cityscapes while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. By combining robust steel profiles with high-quality timber, the Reliq series sets a new standard for functional street furniture, offering a durable solution for high-traffic environments that demand both elegance and resilience.
Material quality is a cornerstone of the Reliq design, ensuring long-term performance under varying environmental conditions. The load-bearing frame can be specified in either carbon steel (S235JR), finished for maximum weather protection, or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304) for enhanced corrosion resistance in challenging climates. The seat and backrest elements are crafted from a selection of premium wood options, including European coniferous wood, durable hardwood of European origin, or high-end exotic wood—available in both oiled and natural finishes. This versatility allows architects and urban planners to tailor the benches to their specific aesthetic requirements, ensuring that each installation complements its surrounding landscape and architectural context.
Functionality and stability are prioritized throughout the engineering of this outdoor seating solution. The Reliq bench is designed for secure mounting via a bolt-down method, ensuring that it remains firmly anchored to the substrate in busy metropolitan areas. As part of a comprehensive collection of street furniture, this product maintains a modular and cohesive look, making it an ideal choice for large-scale development projects. By emphasizing ergonomic comfort through its backrest and double-sided configuration, the Reliq model facilitates social interaction and provides a welcoming place for rest, effectively enhancing the utility and appeal of public infrastructure.
