Product code: HALONG
A wave-shaped seating and lounging element with an undulating surface, made of recycled polyethylene and designed for free use of public space.
Halong was born from the desire to inhabit public space with complete freedom, without any stylistic constraints. Its fluid, undulating surface invites you to rediscover the balance between body and form – a playful element offering new ways of interacting, where people and material merge into a shared landscape. It is made of recycled polyethylene with a textured finish. The material is resistant to UV rays and outdoor conditions, can be granulated and is 100% recyclable. The fixing system adapts to different project needs – the element can be installed permanently or temporarily.

Parks, small parks and squares, school and university grounds, events and temporary public space installations, as well as indoor spaces. The wave shape invites people to sit, lie down or play.
For a temporary event or seasonal installation, choose filling with water or sand – the element becomes stable without drilling. For a permanent location, plan for fixing to the base. A concrete element of similar shape is Halong C.
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.
