Backless bench with armrests for concrete low walls in the public realm. The anodised cast aluminium structure and PEFC-certified thermally treated pine slats give the element a fresh, light character. In its compact form, the Flavio makes a discreet resting point on school grounds, campus edges and contemporary outdoor spaces.
Low wall as a compact resting point
Not every outdoor space calls for a freestanding bench. Where school grounds, campus edges and contemporary squares already feature raised low walls, the Flavio offers a way to use that existing structure as seating in the public realm. The compact length suits narrow passages and individual rest zones. The lighter pine gives a fresh appearance well suited to contemporary school environments and green campus edges.
Pine and aluminium for outdoor use
PEFC-certified thermally treated pine gives the seat a warm, light tone that suits green and semi-paved environments. The timber undergoes thermal modification without chemical additives, improving weather resistance and dimensional stability. The supporting structure and armrest frames are finished in anodised cast aluminium: corrosion-resistant, colourfast and suited to coastal environments.
Open, yet defined
What distinguishes this model are the anodised aluminium armrest frames that bound the seating area at both ends. They mark the low wall bench subtly without closing off the space: sightlines remain open, passers-by move freely. This also makes the Flavio with armrests suitable for locations where anti-loitering is a requirement.
Seating as an intention
A low wall with seating invites people to pause. This works best when the surroundings support that visit: a litter bin within reach, a cycle stand near the entrance, planting that softens the height difference visually. Servibo supplies all street furniture elements through a single point of contact and advises on the outdoor rest area as a whole.
Frequently asked questions
When does a designer choose the backless Flavio over the version with a backrest?
The backless Flavio suits transition zones, path edges and areas where sightlines across the low wall need to be preserved. For destination seating on squares, in parks and care home settings where extended comfort and rise support are priorities, the backrest variant is more appropriate. The armrests frame the seating area, provide grip when rising and fulfil the accessibility function assigned by ISO 21542:2021.
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 unit is supplied unassembled and finished on site.
What maintenance does the thermally treated pine require?
Thermally treated pine is stable and ages gracefully without specific treatment. The colour gradually shifts towards grey with prolonged outdoor exposure, which many projects deliberately accept as the final finish. Those wishing to preserve the original tone can apply a clear exterior oil. Servibo provides advice on request.
