Saarbrucken Seating

Saarbrücken is a contemporary bench system originally designed for the Berliner Promenade, combining laser‑cut steel side panels with generous timber seat boards to deliver high comfort and a strong architectural presence. Standard bench length is 200 cm with options that include armrests, high backrest, and backless “hockerbank” variants, enabling continuous linear seating in prominent public realm settings. Metalwork is supplied galvanised, with optional WEW fine‑texture colour finishes, and timber can be specified in untreated native or hardwood with oiled surface available. The series is engineered for secure ground fixing and long service life, ideal for civic squares, promenades and transport interchanges.

Designed with BIERBAUM.AICHELE landscape architects for Saarbrücken’s riverfront, the Saarbrücken bench family brings premium comfort, refined detailing and modular flexibility to UK streetscapes. Laser‑cut steel side panels create a crisp silhouette and support robust timber seat boards sized around 200 × 4.7 × 3.8 cm, with arrangements available as standard bench, bench with armrests, high‑back bench, or backless hockerbank, each in a 200 cm module that can be arranged in series to form long, continuous seating lines. Weight ranges from circa 105 kg for the backless version to approximately 207 kg for high‑back configurations, underpinning stability and durability in high‑traffic environments. Metal components are supplied hot‑dip galvanised as standard, with an option to specify galvanised and coated finishes in WEW colours such as WEW‑Blau (similar RAL 5009), WEW‑Grün (similar RAL 6002), WEW‑Gelb (similar RAL 1032), WEW‑Weiß (similar RAL 9016), WEW‑Schwarz (similar RAL 8022), WEW‑Silber (similar DB 701) and WEW‑Graphit (similar DB 703), while RAL/DB smooth‑surface coatings are available on request. Installation can be executed via surface‑mounted fixings, extended feet for subsurface fixing, or extended feet for concreting; all models are supplied for secure ground fixation to ensure long‑term performance in exposed public realm sites. Saarbrücken’s origins at the Berliner Promenade and its series‑based arrangement convey a representative, imposing look that reads strongly in linear waterfronts, civic avenues and campus edges, making it a versatile choice for architects, specifiers, local authorities and contractors seeking comfort, coherence and a contemporary identity.
