The Soft bench (model 02.012.1), designed by Iwona Żaczek, represents a sophisticated approach to urban furniture, blending ergonomic comfort with a minimalist aesthetic. As a prominent feature of the Soft product line, this street furniture element is engineered to provide reliable support and durability in high-traffic public spaces. With an overall length of 72 inches and a thoughtfully calculated seat height of 18 ½ inches, the bench is specifically categorized for senior accessibility, ensuring ease of use for all generations. Its streamlined silhouette allows it to integrate seamlessly into modern city landscapes, parks, and residential plazas, offering a stable and welcoming seating solution.
Construction quality is at the core of this design, utilizing either robust carbon steel (S235JR) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304) to ensure long-term structural integrity against environmental factors. The seat and backrest are crafted from high-quality timber, with versatile options including European coniferous wood, durable hardwood of European origin, or luxurious oiled and premium exotic wood. This selection of materials ensures that the bench maintains its structural elegance while offering a warm, organic texture that contrasts beautifully with the sleek metal frame. Every component is meticulously finished to withstand the rigors of public use, maintaining its appearance and performance over time.
Designed for permanent installation, the bench with backrest features a secure mounting method to the ground via screws, ensuring stability and safety in any outdoor environment. Weighing 126 lbs, the unit provides a substantial presence that discourages displacement while remaining proportional to its surroundings. This urban furniture piece exemplifies the ZANO commitment to combining functional engineering with refined design principles. By prioritizing both comfort and material longevity, the Soft bench stands as a premier choice for architects and urban planners seeking to enhance the quality of public spaces with high-end, reliable seating solutions.
