Paxa U20-60 with the backrest U20-60R
Design Blenda Design
This low, lateral bench is understated in style, but strong in appeal. Like the other designs in the Paxa furniture suite, the bench’s simple design reveals the beauty of the materials used to construct it. Streamlined lengths of pine form the seat and backrest, resting in the smooth concrete panels supporting the bench on either side. The bench is perfectly suited to contemporary settings, both indoor and outside.

The concrete side panels are equipped with downward-facing casings for ground-mounting. They enable the bench to stand evenly.

Glazed pine can be repainted with water-based outdoor paints from brands such as Beckers or Jotun, or Aqua 40 from Teknos. Glazed pine can be repainted with a water-based indoor paint. If necessary, reprime the wood before painting. Use the same NCS colour originally ordered. The gloss factor should be 30.
Stain glazed beech with water-based interior paint. It is important to prime if the primer has been worn off and the wood is open. Apply the paint in the NCS colour in which you purchased the furniture. The gloss should be 30.
Oiled oak should be oiled at least once a year. Oiled oak turns grey in patches (sometimes with black dots) and over time turns an even grey colour. We maintain this product with Herdins Chinese wood oil.

The bench can be matched with other pieces in the Paxa furniture suite. Steel-frame versions can be ordered, please see products 'Paxa Steel 1' and 'Paxa Steel 2'.
