The Arki is a robust bench with a uniquely weightless design. The seat’s vertical slats enable light to pass through its surface, creating a contrasting surface pattern. The seat rests on two symmetrical steel cubes, each balancing the surface weight between them. Arki’s rectilinear profile is softened by its subtle parallel lines, enabling it to blend in with natural settings as well as architectural backgrounds.

Our FSC-labeled Jatoba is an untreated, very hard, and strong hardwood with a long shelf life. It has a brown color with black accent stripes that changes to a deep and rich red color over time.
Nola uses high-quality steel of good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. For this we use two main methods for surface treatment of steel parts; electrogalvanizing and powder coating as well as hot-dip galvanizing.
Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.
Hot-dip galvanizing provides very strong protection against corrosion. The steel is dipped into a bath of hot liquid zinc. The zinc attaches and creates a surface coating on the steel part, which is then taken out of the bath and drained of excess zinc.
Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.
Cast in ground.
Oiled wood should be re-oiled regularly.
Jotoba basically requires no maintenance apart from regular wiping down.
Hot-dip galvanized can be touch-up painted with so-called "cold galvanizing".
Products that are electro-galvanized and powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
Available in oiled wood or untreated. The frame is available in both hot-dip galvanised steel and powder-coated steel (the powder-coated steel is also hot-dip galvanised). A backed version is also available.
