Description
The Photon solar bench (02.409) represents a sophisticated advancement in urban furniture, blending modern technology with sustainable design. Engineered as a smart, unilateral seating solution, this bench serves as a functional hub for contemporary public spaces. The structure is built from high-quality carbon steel (S235Jr) or premium stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring durability and resilience in diverse weather conditions. Measuring 278 cm in length, the bench features a comfortable seat and backrest crafted from a choice of soft wood, European hardwood, or premium oil-finished hardwood, offering an aesthetic that harmonizes with any landscape architecture.
As a leading example of smart city infrastructure, the Photon bench is equipped with a 100 W photovoltaic panel system that powers a comprehensive suite of digital utilities. Users can utilize integrated USB A and USB C Quick Charge ports, with optional 10 W wireless charging capabilities available. The bench supports advanced connectivity options, including a Wi-Fi hotspot (2.4 GHz; 3G/4G) and integrated audio solutions like Bluetooth speakers or internal memory sound modules. To enhance safety and visibility, the unit features ambient LED lighting in neutral white, making it an ideal piece of street furniture for parks, plazas, and transit hubs.
Installation is achieved through secure bolting to a permanent foundation, ensuring the stability of this multi-functional unit. Clients may customize the bench by adding side tables or bicycle racks on either side, optimizing it for high-traffic environments. Power reliability is maintained by high-capacity 36 Ah gel or 40 Ah lithium batteries, rated for operation between -20°C and 60°C. Branding opportunities are available through custom logo etching in stainless steel or milling in the wood grain. The Photon solar bench, designed by Filip Babiarz, effectively transforms standard benches into interactive technological landmarks that define the future of public outdoor spaces.
