CURVE Outdoor: A light and airy HIMACS bench with flowing curves

Following last year’s successful launch of the CURVE Bench for indoor spaces, Nina Moeller Designs has created an all-weather outdoor bench made from hard-wearing HIMACS material.

In keeping with the adaptable design of the indoor seat, CURVE Outdoor can be used as a single seat or joined with other units to form a seating arrangement that suits your needs.

The original bench seating was designed for Re: Centre in West London - Hammersmith, a unique space for creativity and wellness. The client’s vision for this space was to create one large circle of seating. The circle should let people feel embraced and create a sense of togetherness in a place conducive to rest and relaxation.

“The design was inspired by nature - to link together and provide a sense of unity”, explains Nina Moeller, speaking about the modulability, natural shapes and forms of CURVE Bench. “Given the popularity of the original CURVE Bench and the wishes expressed by our clients to see CURVE in an outdoor setting, we knew we needed a material which could withstand all the elements. We were encouraged by colleagues and friends to explore the outstanding properties of the latest generation material HIMACS. “

HIMACS is the ideal material for this project. The ability to thermoform the curves was obviously hugely imperative, but other properties of HIMACS were of equal importance. HIMACS is ideal for outdoor furniture, as it is designed to withstand any weather conditions, including wind, rain and sun. The chair will look as good in ten years as it does today. Added to this, the solid surface material is easy to clean, and any small imperfections can be easily repaired.
