Vincent Backless Bench

Designer Notes

We collaborated with landscape architect (Dylan Chernoff @ DKL Durante Kreuk), on this new design that we call The Vincent. He liked the angles of our Rutherford picnic table and the finished clean look of the ends our Bayside Park Bench yet felt that neither design would be strong enough for the high use and high impact application it was intended for. We considered various options.

In areas where the products were going to be installed, there was high likelihood that they would be “grinded” by the local skateboard community. It is for this reason the built-in skate blocks play a large part in this design. They help to protect the product while not compromising comfort.

Product branding was also important. A metal transition piece was attached between the leg supports that could be labeled or routered for this purpose. In our landscape architect’s case, it was the name and logo of the university which added the perfect finishing touch.

The “Vincent” design exemplifies our ability to partner with our clients, and that by joining forces as a team, accomplish more than on our own.
