About this product

Ideas Seating

The IDEAS Collection brings together the different contemporary designs that combine warm timber slats with robust corten or powder‑coated steel frames for exceptional durability and style. Engineered for UK public realm projects, these benches offer flexible configurations, rapid installation and long‑term performance in streetscapes, parks and transport hubs. With coordinated aesthetics and premium materials, the IDEAS range delivers specification‑ready solutions for architects, contractors and local authorities seeking best‑in‑class street furniture.

The IDEAS Collection is a versatile family of benches designed to elevate modern urban environments through a balance of natural timber and precision‑engineered steel. The L Seat offers two standard lengths with options for backless or backrest configurations, enabling inclusive seating layouts across plazas, campuses and waterfronts. Its corten or powder‑coated steel frame, paired with hardwood slats and stainless‑steel detailing, ensures resilience in high‑footfall and coastal locations, while surface/baseplate fixing simplifies installation for contractors. Complementing the L Seat, the T Bench delivers a sleek, backless profile supported by a double T‑shaped corten steel structure and hot‑dip galvanised base for superior stability. Ten finger‑jointed timber slats are mounted on a stainless‑steel tube with anti‑theft end caps and nylon spacers for clean gaps and low maintenance. Available in two lengths, the T Bench harmonises with the L Seat to create unified, high‑impact streetscape strategies. Together, the IDEAS Collection offers architects and specifiers a premium, coordinated solution for public realm, regeneration and mixed‑use developments—combining timeless aesthetics with robust engineering for long‑term value.
