A low wall in a thoroughfare area calls for a seating element that is present without creating barriers. The Flavio Banca Tropical 175 is backless and armrest-free: maximum openness, bidirectional use and minimal visual mass. FSC-certified tropical hardwood on an aluminium support structure that adapts to the setting. Servibo supplies complete with assembly documentation for contractor placement.
The minimal intervention on the low wall
Timber slats on an existing retaining wall: the 175 cm Flavio seating element is the most direct way to transform a low wall into a seating area. No backrest, no armrests , only the seat surface that gives the wall its new role. Usable from both sides and visually fully integrated.
FSC-certified tropical hardwood
The slats in FSC-certified tropical hardwood (Erythrophleum ivorense) are exceptionally wear-resistant and resistant to moisture and coastal climates. The warm timber tone creates a subtle contrast with the mineral low wall, activating the space without overwhelming it.
Durable and low-maintenance
No periodic maintenance required. Clean with a pH-neutral, alcohol-free product. An annual visual inspection is sufficient.

Frequently asked questions
When does the fully open Flavio without backrest or armrests suit a project?
The open Flavio suits thoroughfare zones, path edges and spaces where spatial continuity must be preserved. Without backrest or armrests, the element has minimal visual mass: it adds seating without dividing or defining the space. Bidirectional use is also possible: visitors can sit on both sides of the low wall. Servibo advises based on the spatial context and expected usage profile.
What substrate is required for mounting the Flavio on a low wall?
The aluminium support frames are anchored into the top of the low wall using fixation plugs. The supplied plugs are recommended for screed or a concrete foundation block. For masonry or other substrates, Servibo recommends a technical check before ordering. The hardwood slats are assembled onto the frames in a separate step. The unit is supplied unassembled and finished on site.
What maintenance does the tropical hardwood of the Flavio require?
The Flavio requires no specific maintenance unless the original timber colour is to be preserved. Cleaning with a pH-neutral, alcohol-free and non-abrasive product is sufficient. Servibo provides advice on request regarding suitable maintenance products.
