The Typology ribbon bench is the flowing centerpiece, bridging all elements of the Typology Collection. Modular segments in a straight configuration and two degrees of small and large radius enable the bench to meander seamlessly throughout the landscape. It defines spaces, connects spaces, guides pedestrians, and can even form amphitheater-like semicircular hubs that encourage community interaction.
