About this product

Ela Chair

ELA brings a refined, sculptural presence to public realm seating, combining laser‑cut floral motifs with either weathering Corten steel or a single‑colour powder‑coated steel finish. Offered as single or double modules with linear or angled backrest options, ELA enables intimate touchpoints or social clusters across plazas, campuses and streetscapes. Pre‑drilled for anchor fixing, it installs quickly and delivers low‑maintenance durability in all weather. Designed by Marc Aurel within the Color Corten Style collection.

ELA transforms everyday seating into a design‑led statement for contemporary public spaces. Part of Color Corten Style family, ELA is formed from a single sheet of Corten or painted steel, precision laser‑shaped and perforated with botanical patterns that create distinctive light and shadow effects. The system’s modularity—single or double seat units with either a straight back or an angled back—lets designers compose straight runs, corner turns and sociable clusters while maintaining a coherent visual language. With compact modules around 530 mm for single seats and 1060 mm for double seats and an ergonomic seat height near 451 mm, ELA supports universal comfort within tight footprints and high‑footfall environments. Designed by Marc Aurel, it balances craft, durability and whole‑life value for architects, specifiers and buyers seeking premium, low‑maintenance urban seating.
