About this product

Lava Seating

Lava is an organically shaped, sculptural bench that invites imagination and informal gatherings in public spaces. Made by out‑sider from weather‑resistant, rotationally moulded polyethylene, Lava comfortably seats 5–7 people and is available with or without integrated LED lighting. Designed to sit directly on any terrain, it blends playful form with practical durability for parks, campuses, retail and civic environments.

Lava reinterprets seating as a creative urban object, merging cloud‑inspired forms with the resilience of rotationally moulded HDPE. With dimensions of 2600 mm length, 1200 mm width and 500 mm height, it offers generous, non‑directional seating that encourages free‑form interaction and playful use by adults and children alike. Lava’s material is UV‑stable, weather‑resistant and fully recyclable, supporting circular economy principles while enduring heavy public use and high‑pressure cleaning cycles. It can be ordered with an integrated LED lighting option to enliven spaces after dark, promoting ambience and wayfinding. Sited 100% on-ground with optional adjustable feet or mounting fittings, Lava ensures simple installation across parks, plazas, retail courtyards and educational settings. Designed by Karim Rashid, Lava combines playful sculpture with functional seating, offering specifiers a visually striking, low-maintenance solution that fosters inclusivity, social interaction and imaginative urban design.
