About this product

Klara R Round Bench

The KLARA R Park Bench is a circular, design‑led seating solution created for modern parks and civic spaces, developed by Swedish designers DinellJohansson for the Klara Church area in Stockholm. Its rounded timber slats in Kebony Clear or mahogany pair with a slender, yet exceptionally strong, hot‑dip galvanised steel frame to deliver long‑term durability with minimal maintenance. With ergonomic curved seat and back edges—and optional accessibility‑enhancing armrests—it provides highly comfortable, inclusive public seating.

The KLARA R Park Bench is a refined circular seating system designed to bring social interaction, comfort and sculptural character to the public realm. Conceived by Swedish design studio DinellJohansson, KLARA R forms part of a broader family of benches originally developed for Stockholm’s Klara Church district and now widely used in European cities for their distinctive simplicity and high usability. The bench’s geometry features gently rounded seat and back profiles, improving ergonomics and providing a welcoming form that encourages users to settle, talk, rest or observe their surroundings. Optional armrests increase accessibility, supporting elderly users and those needing assistance when standing, helping meet inclusive design and Equality Act requirements. This ensures KLARA R performs reliably in demanding urban environments. Timber slats are available in Kebony Clear—a sustainable, high‑performance modified softwood—or mahogany in either oil‑treated or untreated form. Both timber options are chosen for their long‑term weathering performance and premium aesthetic. Installation can be either bolt‑down or in‑ground using recommended Ø400 × 600 mm foundations, with a standard seat height of 480 mm for universal comfort. Its simple, Nordic design language coordinates seamlessly with the straight KLARA bench to create visually coherent public‑realm schemes.

FAQ

Questions about the Klara R Round Bench

What timber options are available for the KLARA R Park Bench?

KLARA R can be specified with durable Kebony Clear slats or mahogany, offered oil‑treated or untreated to suit maintenance and aesthetic preferences.

How durable is the steel frame?

The bench is constructed using hot‑dip galvanised steel, creating a tough, self‑healing surface that withstands corrosion and significantly reduces long‑term maintenance.

Is KLARA R suitable for inclusive public‑realm design?

The bench’s curved edges offer excellent comfort, and optional armrests improve accessibility and assist elderly or mobility‑restricted users with easier rising.
