A Folded Form with a Minimal Visual Profile

Paper is a contemporary commercial bench designed by Hangar Design Group.

Its name reflects the apparent simplicity of a folded sheet. The bench transforms this visual idea into a durable steel seating element with a clear, uninterrupted architectural profile.

Paper is especially appropriate for environments where simple geometry, visual order, and material continuity are central to the design.

Construction

The standard version is manufactured in formed steel and designed as a backless commercial bench.

Its smooth continuous profile makes it easy to coordinate with modern paving systems, concrete architecture, metal façades, and minimalist landscape designs.

A Paper WPC version is also available, combining the steel structure with WPC seating components.

The bench PAPER is made in steel, 60/10 thickness. The bench has 2 sheets welded together through a continuous welding, which creates the typical wave shape. The 90° bending of the sheet creates the feet of the bench with holes (11 mm diam.) for the fixing to the ground through specific bolts (not provided).

This product is entirely made in Italy from steel subjected to an electrolytic galvanising cycle and subsequently painted with PP powders with Ral colour of your choice.

As an alternative to steel EN10111DD11, the production in corten is also available, on demand. In this case the material is treated with a specific oxidation process.
