Introducing Forum

Street-furniture-forum-seats

Debut: Forum Seats at the pop-up park for This Public Life Festival of Landscape Architecture in Melbourne’s Federation Square

A hybrid between backyard and street furniture seating, the Forum range can be used for both pop up and permanent installations.

Inspired by the moveable chairs at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, users may bring chairs together or follow the shade for the perfect spot throughout the day.

Add a splash of colour with high visibility powder coating, or opt for a classic look with Jarrah or anodised aluminium battens. Pair with matching cafe tables and rim bins for the perfect pop up setting.

The Forum comes as a one, three or four seater, and can be specified up to six metres in length.

Its comfortable upright profile is DDA compliant, with ample back and armrest support to assist in sitting and standing, matching the profile and price of our Park range.

The seats can also be fixed to the ground via core drilling for permanent installations.

Street Furniture Australia is pleased to introduce the Forum seat, launched at the 2015 Festival of Landscape Architecture at Federation Square. Enquire now.
