Outdoor Seating to Disperse Rainwater

Sustainable outdoor seating that can disperse rainwater quickly, the seat can be used immediately after rainfall and was designed using recycled plastic profiles and injection moulded plastic.

Seating is curved due to the recycled plastic profiles being heat treated to create a unique seating form.  Not only does this create a more interesting form than traditional benches, this allow the users to have a slightly broader view of the environment the seating is placed.

With the green components being individual this allows for a wider range of seating sizes and forms.  The seating can be for single person used to create interesting curved to follow the shape of the landscape the seating is placed. 

Each green component allows for ease of maintenance if the seating is damaged or vandalised.  Since an individual component can be removed and replaced to save replacing the whole length of the seating, therefore reducing maintenance costs.

The recycled plastic material is ideal for outdoor use, it does not rust or rot, it does not need to be treated and can easily be cleaned.  While also being easy to clean off graffiti too.
