Blade Bench
Blade Bench
Designer: Stéphane Chapelet
A Bold Architectural Seating Element
Blade is a sculptural commercial bench designed by Stéphane Chapelet for contemporary public and architectural environments.
Its decisive geometry recalls an object shaped through a precise cut. The sharp, controlled lines give the bench a strong visual identity while preserving a simple and functional seating surface.
Rather than disappearing into the landscape, Blade can be used as a defining architectural element within a plaza, park, campus, or commercial development.
Monolithic Form
Blade is produced in HPRC®, depending on the selected version.
Its solid, continuous appearance makes it especially suitable for spaces requiring visually substantial seating with minimal additional components. The material expression and geometric profile allow the bench to coordinate with contemporary concrete, stone, metal, and glass architecture.
