Conmoto Tension bench with backrest HPL

Tension garden furniture series. An exciting furniture concept in both construction and appearance was designed by Peter Maly, Birgit Hoffmann, and Christoph Kahleyss for the German garden furniture manufacturer conmoto: The outer supporting sides and surfaces made of high-pressure laminate (HPL) are wedged together with a stabilizing beam made of solid teak wood. This creates a combination of traditional weather-resistant wood and a modern composite material – featuring textured, natural wood surfaces alongside almost satin-matte laminate surfaces. Despite the contrast, the material mix of the garden furniture series offers exceptionally high climatic and mechanical resilience. Tension bench with backrest. The striking teak wood beam not only visually connects the slightly tilted sides of the garden bench but is also crucial for its stability, supported by a second strut that runs hidden beneath the ultra-thin yet highly stable seat surface at a height of 43 cm. Seating comfort is enhanced with an optional seat and back cushion set – two of these seat cushions are required for the Tension bench with backrest. In addition to this bench with a backrest, conmoto also offers a simple bench without a backrest as well as stools and side tables in various sizes to complement the table of this garden furniture series.
