Bar Settings Elevate Outdoor Spaces

“A good city is like a good party – people stay because they are enjoying themselves.” – Jan Gehl

LANEWAY by Taylor Brammer, Sydney

Inviting casual social interaction and supporting a variety of uses – from quick breaks to group hangouts – bar height settings are emerging as a dynamic design choice for public and semi-public outdoor environments.

In busy urban settings these pieces encourage flow, making them ideal for transitional zones like transport hubs, food precincts or parks adjacent to cafes, where activities overlap, to support casual moments of rest, laptop work or outdoor dining.

The elevated sightlines lend perfectly to projects that overlook a view or people-watching.

Street Furniture Australia has developed robust, sustainable and low maintenance bar height products to withstand the demands of the public realm.

We recommend layering these pieces with other inclusive seating options to accommodate different user needs.

Introducing Piatto Bar Stool

Piatto Bar Stool, a new addition to the extended Piatto range, incorporates 30 years of learnings from our Cafe range and as a result is stronger, more versatile, and has applications for a wider variety of contemporary environments.

It also looks great, its cast aluminum frame elegantly encasing and protecting battens with a stylish wine glass silhouette.

The wine glass profile of the battened seat appeals both in form and function – rounded edges reduce the chance of injury from bumps, making it a safer choice for children’s parks and play spaces.

Our engineers have made this stool more vandal resistant by using concealed gussets and a pipe that is 66% thicker, applying rigorous testing to ensure durability in public space.

Piatto Bar Stool can be specified as fixed or freestanding (see Technical Sheet). For freestanding, a weighted base enhances stability and reduces the chance of tipping. This product can later be fixed, should the custodian require flexibility for future projects.

After several footrest iterations, a 360 degree footrest was selected to simplify the installation process, as it can be fixed in any direction.

Solid or battened tops are available, with two batten profiles: 63x30mm (to match Linea, Aria and Mall range) or 85x30mm (matching Piatto and Park range).

Piatto Bar Stool can be ordered as a setting with Linea Bar Table and Linea Bar Lookout Table.

Linea Bar Table

Ideal for casual group hangouts. Linea is sleek and minimalist yet extremely strong with 6-8mm stainless steel frames. Available with a battened or solid table top in various lengths and colours.

Linea Bar Lookout Table

Create the perfect spot for people-watching or to look out to a view. Available with a battened or solid table top in various lengths and colours.

The Piatto range

Other furniture in the Piatto range includes the Piatto Stool for standard table height, also Piatto Table, Piatto Coffee Table, Piatto Chair and Piatto Love Seat.
