The Environmentally Responsible Choice
Cool custom benches with a unique twist
Designing interesting outdoor furniture – specifically benches, chairs and tables - that can really bring your clients brand or personality to the piece is not always as easy as it should be. Sports teams, municipalities, parks, hospitals, communities, schools, outdoor office space…the opportunities for creative outdoor furniture are endless.
Let’s take an outdoors bench. Starting with the bench design itself, function is key, but so is personality. Whether a standard template or a custom piece, creating something unique that works with and within the design concept is important.
Custom Benches, from Kaspar Manufacturing, offer both. Standard off the shelf products or unique customization options, where the designer’s ideas are cut out on a waterjet machine, give true freedom of design.
Once we have the design shape, what about the aesthetics? Let’s look at performance first. Anything outside needs a tough, durable, scratch resistant coating that can retain color and gloss over time and still look good. Using IFS powder coatings ensures that the performance capability is there and the designer also gets an environmentally responsible coating to enable both them and their clients to capitalize on their sustainability goals.
Now we’ve got our durable product, what about color? Every part of the bench is powder coated, and so can be done in your choice of colors. So whether that’s a client’s brand palette, team colors or something unique to that specific design, the huge range of color options are there. It’s also easy to mix and match, changing the color of the back, seat, and sides to fit with the design theme.
Lori Hamilton, from Kaspar Manufacturing explains “We wanted to give designers the freedom to design pieces that may traditionally have had a more industrial or functional feel, and give them the ability to be creative in something more than just color choice. Stylish and creative alongside tough and functional may not be the most obvious descriptors to work together, but with Founders Furniture – and specifically custom benches, we feel we’ve managed to achieve it all. The tough, colorful and beautiful powder coated finish is just the icing on the cake.”
