Nova

Double-sided Park Bench

Design Peter Brandt

Nova takes the style of classic Continental park benches as its starting point, and reinvents them for the twenty-first century. Nova is formed by a central backrest with seating on either side. The frame is constructed from two cast-iron columns secured deep within the ground. The design is efficient and resourceful, requiring less material than a typical park bench, yet providing twice the amount of seating.

Materials and surface treatments

Seat and back in cover-glazed pine. Stand in cast iron, anti-rust and painted black in RAL 9005.

Pine

Nola's pine is of high quality and comes from sustainable forestry. Pine is an environmentally friendly, domestically produced material. Damaged or untreated pine is quite easily attacked by decomposition processes; therefore, it is particularly important to repair damaged surfaces.

Cast iron

Cast iron is iron with a carbon content between approximately 2 and 4 percent with a large proportion of recycled material. Compared to steel, it has a lower melting point and is therefore easier to melt and requires less energy. Thanks to the high carbon content, so-called graphite is formed. This is the main reason why cast iron, unlike steel, does not rust as quickly and thus has a very long life cycle.

Water-based glaze

Varnishing of wood is done with a water-based varnish. A water-based paint that is kinder to the environment. Under normal use, the paint has a good wear resistance and long durability.

Assembly and placement

In-ground

Cast in ground.

Delivered in parts for assembly on site.

Maintenance

Water-based glazed pine

Products in varnished pine must be maintained regularly with alkyd paint. Maintenance intervals approximately 1 time per year. Damage and cracks should be repaired immediately. Touch-up paints in spray packaging are available in standard colors to order.

Cast iron

Untreated cast iron eventually rusts, but this does not affect its durability. Products in cast iron that are anti-rust treated and painted black should, however, be touch-up painted and maintained, at regular intervals, if necessary or in case of possible damage, with alkyd paint.
