Product code: IVY
A wooden seating module that mounts on existing walls, steps or concrete benches – with or without backrest and armrests.
Ivy is a seating module designed to add ergonomics and comfort to existing spaces, such as retaining walls or steps. Its name comes from the plant that spreads and clings to rocks; in the same way, this system adapts to and is mounted on walls built on site. The module also complements the Durbanis Strat series. The structure is 6 mm thick machined galvanised steel sheet, painted with textured anthracite paint. The seats, with or without backrests and armrests, are made from Nordic pine or FSC® certified tropical wood slats. Each module is 1700 mm long.

Existing retaining walls, concrete benches, terraces and steps in squares, parks or school grounds, when you want to turn cold concrete into a comfortable wooden seat.
Ivy modules can be mounted on Strat concrete benches to give you a wooden seat with a backrest. Measure the length of the wall before ordering: one module is 1700 mm.
For seating areas, parks and courtyards, benches with a backrest are a better fit – they are more comfortable for longer stays. In transit areas, at bus stops and near schools, backless benches are usually enough; they take up less space and can be sat on from both sides. For longer sitting, models with armrests or a higher backrest are more comfortable for older people.
Concrete benches are heavy and stable, suitable for squares and busy places. Steel benches with a galvanised and painted frame are lighter, so they are fixed to the base. Wooden slats on the seat are warmer and more pleasant than metal or concrete.
Heavy concrete benches usually stand stably without anchors. In public places it is recommended to fix steel benches to the base so that they are not moved around or carried off – anchors are included for some models. When placing on sand or gravel, small concrete footings are first poured under the legs.
Seats use impregnated and painted black alder, spruce, pine or other softwood, as well as weather-resistant acacia. For some models, composite can be chosen instead of wood. Clean the wood regularly, and when the coating wears, renew it with protective paint or oil.
The frames of steel benches are powder-coated, in most cases in the RAL palette. For concrete benches you can choose stone chips in different shades, and the wood is painted or oiled. Check the available options when ordering.
Yes. Modular benches allow you to create a seating line of the desired length or shape, and curved segments a circular seating area around a tree or flower bed. There are also benches with an integrated bike rack, which suit school or office entrances.
Yes, it is worth choosing a table together with benches from the same series – the surroundings then look coherent and the dimensions match each other. Like benches, outdoor tables must be sturdy, moisture-resistant and easy to maintain. You can also choose a waste bin from the same line for the seating area.
