Benches & Seatings

Discover Italian-designed commercial benches and outdoor seating for parks, plazas, campuses, streetscapes, hospitality environments, shopping centers, residential developments, and contemporary public spaces.

LAB23 offers a broad collection of benches, chairs, stools, chaise lounges, modular seats, and integrated seating systems developed to combine architectural design, comfort, durability, and flexible project configuration.

Contemporary Seating for Public and Commercial Spaces

Outdoor seating plays an essential role in the way people experience a space.

Well-designed benches provide places to rest, meet, work, wait, observe, and socialize. They can also help organize circulation, define gathering areas, introduce material warmth, and reinforce the architectural identity of a project.

LAB23 seating collections range from clean, understated benches to sculptural products that become defining visual elements within the landscape.

Applications

LAB23 commercial seating is suitable for:

• Public parks
• Urban plazas
• Pedestrian streets
• University and college campuses
• Corporate campuses
• Shopping centers
• Hotels and resorts
• Mixed-use developments
• Residential communities
• Museums and cultural facilities
• Transit environments
• Waterfront projects
• Healthcare campuses
• Public gardens
• Recreational areas

Product selection and materials should be evaluated according to the expected intensity of use, climate, maintenance program, installation conditions, and architectural context.

Available Seating Types

Backless Benches

Backless benches offer flexible access from multiple sides and work well in circulation areas, plazas, campuses, retail environments, and open public spaces.

Benches with Backrests

Benches with backrests provide increased comfort for longer periods of use and are appropriate for parks, waiting areas, campuses, streetscapes, and hospitality environments.

Benches with Armrests

Armrests can help define individual seating positions, improve user support, and address project-specific accessibility or operational requirements.

Modular Seating

Modular systems allow designers to create linear, curved, circular, or custom arrangements tailored to the geometry and circulation of the site.

Lounge Seating and Chaise Lounges

Reclined seating is suitable for parks, waterfronts, poolside environments, resorts, campuses, and recreational landscapes.

Individual Chairs and Stools

Individual seating elements create flexible and informal gathering areas while allowing a consistent relationship with coordinated benches and tables.

Integrated Planter Seating

Planters with built-in seating combine vegetation, space definition, and user comfort in a single multifunctional element.
