Overview

Woodscape's Beam benches have been installed to upgrade seating for shoppers along Kensington High Street, a busy area in Central London with thousands of pedestrians passing through every day.

The Naturally Very Durable Hardwood used in their construction, with each piece being 190 x 190mm, is long-lasting, durable and extremely strong, so these benches work double duty as barriers between pedestrians and the busy traffic.

Fully customisable layout

The 3x3 grid system of these benches is fully customisable, with the addition of hardwood cubes to form extra legs and armrests possible at any point along the length (with available bench lengths up to 3m). The chunky armrests act as a solid divider between the seating areas, helpful in these times of social distancing.

With the lower tier of the system forming the legs, the bench can be customised to provide a main seating height suitable for specific requirements. The standard seating area height of 400mm can be extend upwards to 450mm, as with this project, to aid usability for all ages and abilities.

Armrests bring an additional function, as they become a perch-style seat at either end for anyone requiring an even higher seating platform.
