Design and function in stringent combination

When designing outdoor areas, the aim is to succeed in incorporating an appealing design style into the planning despite the high demand for mechanical robustness and weather resistance of the street furniture. The Espo model series is designed as a bench as well as a stool, its consistent lack of frills in construction is convincing in itself as a contemporary visual statement.

The universal clarity of the design makes this outdoor furniture the ideal object in public spaces, fulfilling its task with a simple but effective presence. This is just as true for a busy square in a pedestrian zone as it is for a more tranquil town centre, a park or a riverside area. Despite its self-assured appearance, it is visually neutral enough to fit seamlessly within all urban planning eras and styles.

Available with a backrest as a bench or without a backrest as a stool bench.
As unambiguous as it is in its design language, it is just as versatile as a municipal requirement in its equipment variants. Depending on requirements, it can also be ordered with or without armrests. The stool version is also available in special widths.

Other variations include seat and backrest in weatherproof larch, oak or cambala. All wood types, in turn, offer the alternatives of glazing and natural finish. With RAL or DB colours according to the customer's wishes, the colour of the frame can be adapted as inconspicuously as possible to the surroundings, support a discreetly elegant appearance or provide colourful accents.

In any case, the Espo seat and bench is a first choice when it comes to clear lines in design - and the claim to use the solidity and inviting effect of natural materials with the design-effective squared timbers of the seat support. A bench or park bench is always a point of attraction, promising a more or less long moment of rest, recreation and relaxation as well as serving as a place for communication.

Street furniture in top form for municipal use
The Espo bench and stool also leaves nothing to be desired and is a symbol of the quality standards of Thieme GmbH. Product design at this level is all the more important because a public space equipped with seats and benches is always a living space for people.
