Designed for resting, observing, and continuing the journey<\/em>: LAB23’s benches<\/strong> are created by our designers to enhance urban furniture, always with the citizen in mind.<\/p>\n

LAB23’s Wooden Benches<\/h2>\n
At LAB23, we craft outdoor wooden benches<\/strong>, perfect for metropolises, seaside cities, and any urban environment. Below, we will introduce you to some of our wooden bench projects <\/strong>to showcase the flexibility and variety of our offerings.<\/p>\n
The three wooden benches we have chosen to analyze are the work of designer St\u00e9phane Chapelet.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Mix Bench<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>this is a curved wooden bench that resembles the movement of a wave. It is 2 meters long and 50 centimeters tall. Made from hyper granite, exotic wood, larch wood, and WPC, it is one of LAB23’s main and most appreciated projects by our customers.<\/p>\n
Emme Sunbed<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>as the name suggests, it is designed to transform into a sunbed and is perfect for new urban contexts, parks, and waterfronts.<\/p>\n
This wooden and steel bench skillfully combines both materials: the steel undergoes a sandblasting, cataphoresis treatment, and is finally coated with PP powder paint in a choice of RAL colors.<\/p>\n
The wood used is either Iroko or Okum\u00e8, treated with natural hydro-repellent oils resistant to UV rays.<\/p>\n
Emme Seat<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>a variant of the Sunbed model described above, this wooden bench also features sinuous and elegant forms, yet it has a decidedly modern design. It is 820 mm high, with seats measuring 450 mm, 700 mm wide, and 450 mm deep.<\/p>\n
These are just a few of LAB23’s wooden bench projects, but the main question remains: what is the best wood to use for an outdoor bench?<\/em><\/p>\n
The Best Wood for an Outdoor Bench<\/h3>\n
For LAB23’s wooden benches, we prefer exotic wood<\/strong>, especially Iroko or Okum\u00e8.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Iroko<\/strong> is a tree native to West Africa and is known for its remarkable strength. Its wood color ranges from light pink to dark red, with grayish-white sapwood. It has a medium texture, and the grain exhibits noticeable differences from trunk to trunk.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Okum\u00e8<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a tree belonging to the Burseraceae family and is native to tropical West Africa (found in countries like Gabon, Spanish Guinea, Cameroon, and Congo).<\/p>\n
This wood is also highly resistant and durable, even under heavy mechanical and environmental stress.<\/p>\n
