The Universe bench (02.455.3), designed by Filip Babiarz, represents a sophisticated approach to modular urban furniture. Characterized by a clean, geometric silhouette, this backless bench is engineered to integrate seamlessly into modern public spaces, ranging from contemporary plazas to corporate landscapes. Its square footprint, measuring 90 cm by 90 cm with a height of 43 cm, offers a versatile seating solution that can be deployed individually or combined in various configurations to create dynamic arrangements within any architectural environment. As a key element of ZANO’s street furniture collection, the Universe line prioritizes both aesthetic minimalism and functional resilience, ensuring that it complements the surrounding infrastructure while providing optimal comfort for users.
Constructed with durability at the forefront, the Universe bench offers premium material specifications to meet diverse climate and usage requirements. The structural frame is available in either high-grade carbon steel (S235JR) or robust stainless steel (AISI 304), both providing exceptional stability and structural integrity. The seating surface is crafted from high-quality timber, with options including soft wood, European-sourced hardwood, or premium exotic hardwoods finished with protective oils. This careful selection of materials ensures that these benches maintain their visual appeal and structural performance over extended periods of outdoor use. To ensure permanent positioning in high-traffic public areas, the unit is designed for secure installation by bolting directly to the foundation.
The modular nature of the Universe series allows for limitless creativity in public space design, making it an essential component for landscape architects and urban planners. By utilizing these benches as standalone units or linked modules, planners can dictate the flow of pedestrian traffic and define social gathering points. Weighing between 53 kg and 58 kg depending on the chosen material composition, the bench balances substantial weight for stability with a manageable form factor. As part of ZANO’s extensive range of street furniture, the Universe 02.455.3 adheres to strict manufacturing standards, delivering a refined product that stands as a testament to modern industrial design and long-term utility in the public realm.
