Street furniture that focuses on the essentials is needed when the street furniture itself is not required to make a style statement but instead needs to remain subtle. The Kantu benches do this with their tremendous clear design that uses this bench series’ strict use of form. The initially simple appearance fits in perfectly in places with new architecture, which are themselves often minimalist in terms of their design. In this context, the METDRA street furniture in the Kantu line is a continuation of the concept of the essentials.
In this instance, the question of what role the Kantu bench needs to play in the street furniture is easy to answer, and yet it takes a little more expertise to do so: The metal bench needs to look lightweight, have a clear structure and yet be of high quality to ensure that it is able to serve the public over a long life of service. Kantu benches are the embodiment of quality, exceptionally stable and available in the familiar, corrosion-protecting surfaces: Galvanized and then powder coated multiple times. They also come in the virtually indestructible stainless steel version for classical elegance and superb appeal.
