The Typology ribbon bench combines modular seating and lighting to define and connect spaces, guide pedestrians and form hubs of community interaction. Adaptable segments enable the bench to meander seamlessly throughout the urban landscape. Constructed from aluminum and ultra-high performance concrete, the gap between the two profiles on the bench seat serves as a mounting point for backrests, armrests and extended surfaces. Emanating from within the ribbon bench, downward-facing lighting illuminates the space around the feature, creating an illusion that the entire structure almost levitates.
