Parc Vue Bench

The landmark collection was inspired by familiar themes in historic design, architecture and nature. Designer John Rizzi took his inspiration from traditional cast iron furniture and asymmetric patterns in nature. The Parc Vue bench achieves a delicate balance between the strength and lively gesture of its frame and the perceived lightness and linear order of its slatted seat. It is a sculptural form that has what Rizzi calls “traditional roots and its own dynamic presence.” In the companion curved and mesh-caged Parc Vue litter receptacle, the designer combines historic reference and contemporary manufacture in an elegant utilitarian object suited to a variety of settings in urban environments.
