Plains & Pods embrace non-prescriptive design to humanize and personalize public outdoor space. Designed to work independently or together, Plains & Pods use layering to create well-rounded, multi-dimensional settings that prioritize freedom and expression.
Plains are large-format beams and platforms that vary in height and width to create multifaceted settings that speak to their users’ individuality. Activities that might feel counterintuitive on a ‘conventional’ bench feel natural on Plains. Optional metal backs and attaching side tables lend installations additional degrees of detail and specificity.
Pods seats and planters are designed to be grouped together in tiered clusters of respite space and greenery. Pods modules give users the opportunity to determine how they interact with space and with one another. From welcoming communal zones, to areas for single seating, to quick touch-down points, Pods groupings bring social and aesthetic depth to the landscape.
Plains & Pods determine social ambiance in more detailed ways, seeing solo versus communal not as a binary, but as a continuum along which there can be many nodes for many different types of interaction.
