Continuity in urban space
The Modular Recto 260® offers the possibility of creating extended seating lines that bring rhythm and coherence to urban layouts. It guides pedestrian flows along boulevards or squares while providing places to pause. The module acts as a linear link between different functions in the public realm.
Integration with green and infrastructure
In combination with concave, convex or corner modules, the straight bench flows naturally alongside planting beds, tree rows or built elements. Seating landscapes emerge that are both comfortable and supportive of greening strategies. The Recto 260® can function as a long edge, defining green islands or marking the transition between paths and park areas.
A collective place to meet
Its size makes the Recto 260® ideal for group use. It invites people to sit together while also offering space for individual moments. On campuses and in parks it often serves as a natural gathering place for students, residents or visitors.
Modularity for large-scale patterns
The strength of this module lies in its modularity. Alone it works as a solid bench, but in sequence it forms long lines cutting across landscapes. In this way, the Recto 260® becomes a building block for large-scale patterns in squares, promenades and boulevards, combining direction, continuity and quality of stay.

Preparation and placement
The module is usually placed on a stable base such as paving or compacted layers. Its weight ensures stability without the need for anchoring. In green areas, joints may be sealed to create a unified appearance.
Using lifting equipment, the bench is carefully positioned in the intended line or composition. Precise alignment with adjoining modules is essential for smooth connections. Once installed, the surroundings – greenery, paving or gravel – are finished to seamlessly integrate the bench into its setting.
