The Universe bench (02.455.5), designed by Filip Babiarz, represents a modern approach to urban furniture, specifically engineered to enhance public spaces with its distinctive modular geometry. As a backless seating solution, this piece is characterized by its square footprint, measuring 128 cm in both width and depth, which allows for versatile arrangement within diverse landscape architectures. Whether installed as a standalone focal point or combined to form expansive seating landscapes, the bench offers exceptional structural integrity and aesthetic clarity, making it an essential element of contemporary street furniture design.
Construction of the Universe bench utilizes high-grade materials to ensure longevity in high-traffic environments. The robust frame is available in either durable carbon steel (S235JR) or premium-grade stainless steel (AISI 304), providing excellent resistance to environmental factors. The seating surface is meticulously crafted from high-quality timber, with configuration options including soft wood, oil-finished hard wood, hardwood of European origin, or premium hard wood. These material combinations result in a substantial product weight ranging from 165 kg to 228 kg, depending on the chosen specifications, which underscores the stability and permanence of this urban furniture element.
Engineered for secure integration into public infrastructure, the Universe bench is designed for installation via bolts anchored directly into the foundation. This method ensures that the modular structure remains fixed and safe for users in city centers, plazas, and parks. By combining technical precision with ergonomic design, the Universe line stands as a premier choice for architects and urban planners seeking reliable benches that fulfill both functional requirements and sophisticated design standards. Its clean lines and modular nature make it a versatile addition to any collection of professional street furniture, providing a seamless balance between industrial strength and refined public aesthetics.
