The Intersection of Sustainability, Authenticity, and Minimalist Design
In Laman's vision, urban furniture is not merely an element for sitting; it is an architectural tool for restoring the quality of 'staying' to the city's public spaces. The Tar Bench is one of this brand's most distinctive products, designed with a simple, clear, and enduring language, providing a calm platform for pause, conversation, and the daily presence of citizens.
Design Philosophy and Material: A New Life in Wood
The Tar Bench, with its minimalist and pure design, is constructed from a combination of recycled traverse wood and metal. The choice of traverse wood in this product is a decision that goes beyond aesthetics, rooted in Laman's approach to sustainable architecture. Traverse wood, which has endured years of pressure, moisture, and severe climate changes on railway tracks, is a symbol of strength and durability, ensuring the Tar Bench's long lifespan in outdoor spaces. At the same time, the deep and natural texture of this wood, in contrast with the cold concrete and metal surfaces of the city, injects warmth and a sense of living nature into public spaces. By returning this material to the cycle of life, Laman has given wood that was once used for passage a new identity for staying and tranquility.
Modular Structure: Freedom in Arrangement
One of the key features of the Tar Bench is its modular structure and puzzle-like arrangement capability. This bench can be placed linearly next to each other, creating diverse combinations appropriate to the scale of the space. From a single-module bench for intimate, low-traffic spaces to long rows for sidewalks, parks, and urban squares, the Tar Bench adapts to project needs without creating design limitations. This flexibility has made it a reliable choice for urban designers and architects.
Industrial Production: Precise, Durable, and Responsible
The Tar Bench is produced in a fully engineered and prefabricated manner. This industrial process ensures high construction precision, consistent quality, and verified product durability. Minimal use of materials and utilization of recycled materials enable this bench to deliver maximum efficiency in urban spaces with the smallest environmental footprint.
