STRATA Beam, a member of the STRATA family of products, creates distinctive gathering and resting places in natural and urban settings. Meldstone™ structural elements spanned by slatted wood seat and table surfaces provide contrasts between cast and milled, hard and soft, cool and warm materials.
STRATA Beam table benches come in 31” and 69” lengths. The 69” bench is sized for easy ingress and egress, and 31”-long single-seat benches can be paired at the table or placed individually to provide wheelchair access. Meldstone™ is offered in a full color palette.
