Durability and adaptability are at the core of the Universe line's engineering. The construction is available in either robust carbon steel (s235Jr) or corrosion-resistant stainless steel (Aisi 304), ensuring long-term resilience against environmental factors. The seating surface can be customized with a variety of high-grade materials, including European coniferous wood, durable hardwood of European origin, or premium exotic wood options, which may be finished with oil for enhanced longevity and visual appeal. Weighing 68 pounds, the unit is designed for secure, permanent installation via a screw-mounting method, providing the stability required for high-traffic public environments.
As a key piece of street furniture, the Universe seat excels in its modular potential. By combining multiple units, designers can create unique seating arrangements tailored to specific site requirements, making it an ideal choice for complex landscaping projects.
