Architectural concrete seating is an optimal material choice for street furniture, as it demonstrates a perfect balance between functionality, durability and aesthetic value.
Situated on Railway Parade in Noble Park, a suite of bespoke concrete block seating, enhanced with timber seat tops and seat backs, integrates seamlessly into the streetscape, offering inviting places for rest and social interaction.
Produced in a standard grey concrete mix with a smooth, off-mould finish, the block seating achieves the desirable aesthetic of industrial concrete, signalling strength and durability. The material demonstrates excellent resistance to weather, wear and tear, making it ideal for the high-traffic public environment and ensuring product longevity with minimal maintenance required.
Each concrete seating module has been positioned to complement the surrounding landscaping and streetside garden beds while also providing subtle pedestrian protection of the walkway from on-road traffic. This allows for a cohesive, inviting streetscape, drawing viewer attention away from the steel bollards immediately adjacent to the road.
Apart from custom concrete seating solutions, Anston also offers design-ready catalogue options for furniture, planters, bollards and other precast concrete landscaping elements, all of which help elevate the everyday experience of urban environments.
