The Flo bench has been designed with contemporary street seating needs in mind
The Flo bench has been designed with contemporary street seating needs in mind. Most important, of its many design features, is it’s ability to resist anti-social behaviour:
•Deters rough sleeping – the ridged top and curved surfaces make it difficult to lie on with any comfort.
•Deters bag theft – the recess along the front and back of the bench allows people to store bags behind their legs.
•Self-cleaning – its shape allows litter, dirt and water to flow off.
•Easy to relocate (for example removing it away from problem areas) – as it sits on the footway and does not have to be bolted to a purpose built foundation.
•Deters skaters – as the expressed join detail makes the edge difficult to grind on.
The 6 metre seats were manufactured from polished black granite. They were supplied to the High Street at Bromley in four sections to make onsite installation easier.
