The FGP bench is organic in form and sophisticated in its simplicity. The subtly concave curvature of the cast aluminum structural frames gives it a soft appearance. The bench back height is designed to allow a sitter to rest an arm on it, making it feel relaxed and welcoming. Benches are offered in single and double lengths and are scalable. The single bench has a frame at each end, while the double bench has a frame at each end and one in the center. Wood slats are more than an inch thick with the front slat elegantly detailed to curve around the bench frame. Slats are available in standard Landscape Forms woods in North America and regionally sourced wood in international markets. Cast aluminum parts come in either a powdercoated or anodized finish.
