Description
The Photon solar bench (02.409.3) is a sophisticated piece of street furniture designed to bridge the gap between traditional aesthetics and modern technological requirements. As a central element of the smart city infrastructure, this bench features a sleek, backless design that provides a versatile seating solution for public spaces, parks, and plazas. Constructed with durability in mind, the frame is available in either robust carbon steel (S235JR) or premium stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term resistance to environmental stressors. The seat is crafted from a selection of high-quality materials, including soft wood, oiled hard wood, European hardwood, or premium hard wood, offering a refined tactile experience that complements various urban landscapes.
Functionality is at the core of the Photon line, which integrates advanced energy solutions directly into the urban furniture. Equipped with high-efficiency 100 W photovoltaic panels, the bench powers its internal battery pack—available as either 36 Ah gel or 40 Ah lithium options—allowing for consistent operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C. Standard equipment includes two USB-A 3.0 ports and one USB-C 3.0 port for quick device charging, with optional upgrades such as a 10 W wireless charger, a Wi-Fi hotspot (2.4 GHz, 3G/4G), and advanced sound modules featuring Bluetooth connectivity or built-in memory speakers. These integrated systems transform the bench into a multi-functional hub for connected citizens.
The design of the Photon bench offers extensive customization to meet the specific requirements of any urban project. Installation is achieved through secure foundation bolting, providing stability for the 170 kg to 193 kg structure depending on the chosen configuration. Enhancements such as dedicated bicycle racks or lateral tables can be integrated into the left or right sides, further increasing the utility of this solar bench. The product also supports atmospheric lighting with 2 x 1m neutral white LED strips and personalized branding via steel etching or wood milling. By combining sustainable energy production with durable benches design, the Photon series sets a new standard for modern, intelligent public infrastructure.
