COSI Park Bench

Design COBE ARKITEKTER

The COSI park bench is an urban bench with expansive, clean lines. It provides comfy seating and a distinctive addition to the urban landscape that is durable for outdoor, public use.

The COSI park bench is ideal for lively parks or central communal areas, with lots of passers-by and a need for park furniture that is both well-designed and robust.

The bench combines corten steel and mahogany in a simple design. The strong, square slats give the bench its character. The slats are comfortably rounded at the front edge.

The COSI park bench is 2000 mm in length. It is available with or without armrests. The armrests are corten steel to match the frame.

It is also available in a long 3000 mm version, as a combined park bench and bench unit. This long bench, with a backrest along 2/3 of its length, serves as a stylish addition to the urban landscape. The extra length gives users new options and possibilities.

This park bench is part of the COSI range, which also includes benches without backrest and a table and bench set in the same design. The range has been designed by Danish architects Cobe Arkitekter in 2022.

Modern park bench with armrests

The COSI range is characterised by its simple materials – mahogany (FSC®-certified) and corten steel – which create a distinctive look and make this furniture robust and easy to maintain.

The large corten steel surfaces require no maintenance. Corten steel is an alloy that is designed to rust on the surface. The rusting process ceases after a few months of exposure to wind and weather. This outermost layer subsequently keeps out moisture, salt, etc.

The park bench is also available in hot-dip galvanised steel or powder-coated, hot-dip galvanised steel.

The smooth wooden seat is supplied untreated as standard in its natural colour. Over time it will weather to a silvery-grey patina. If you wish to preserve the warm glow of the wood, the slats can be treated regularly with oil.

The COSI park bench is installed by simply placing it on the ground. It can also be bolted to the ground. Finally, it can be supplied in a model for cementing in.

The COSI park bench for urban spaces is ‘made for disassembly’

COSI incorporates a long-term perspective. The furniture is timeless and has been created from durable materials in order to provide a product that is long-lasting and more sustainable in a variety of ways. The design ensures that it’s easy to replace any of the slats if needed.

Re-use and recycling at the end of the product’s useful life have already been planned for. COSI furniture is ‘made for disassembly’ – i.e. it’s simple to take apart – and can therefore easily form part of circular resource planning.
