With its low, lateral shape and subtle contours, the backless version of Ascent can wind through interiors transparently without hiding other features in the space. Its backless design and open undercarriage enable all areas to remain in full view, making open-plan surroundings appear more spacious, and more secure. Each part is modular and can quickly and easily be reconfigured into a new design when requirements change. New components can be introduced to create backrests, change the angles of the curves or reconfigure the shape altogether. The bench’s low profile eliminates barriers between people and services, making all parts of a public space appear more accessible.
