Description
The Photon solar bench (02.009.3) represents a sophisticated evolution in urban furniture, seamlessly integrating sustainable energy technology with modern design. Designed by Filip Babiarz, this piece of smart city infrastructure is engineered for high-traffic public spaces, providing both comfortable seating and essential digital connectivity. The robust construction is available in durable carbon steel (S235Jr) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term resilience against environmental factors. The seating surface, crafted from premium European coniferous or exotic hardwoods, offers a natural aesthetic that harmonizes with diverse architectural surroundings. With its expansive dimensions of 279 cm in width, this bench serves as a focal point in parks, city centers, and transit hubs.
Functionality is at the core of the Photon line, which features integrated photovoltaic panels with a maximum output of 100 W. The bench supports a range of advanced electronic configurations to enhance the user experience, including wireless charging capabilities, Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, and high-quality sound modules. Standard equipment includes ambient LED lighting for nighttime safety and accessibility, alongside multiple USB ports (2 x USB-A 3.0, 1 x USB-C 3.0) for rapid mobile device charging. To ensure reliability throughout the year, the unit operates efficiently across a broad temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, supported by a selection of long-lasting gel or lithium battery packs. These technological assets elevate the product beyond traditional benches into a multifunctional hub for the contemporary citizen.
Tailored to meet specific spatial requirements, the Photon system offers extensive modular options. Clients can customize the unit by adding a side table, or integrating bicycle racks on either or both sides, further promoting active mobility within the street furniture landscape. Installation is secured via bolting to a prepared foundation, ensuring stability and safety. Additional personalization options include branding through precise stainless steel etching or professional wood milling. By combining high-performance energy harvesting with modular engineering, this urban furniture solution provides a sustainable and interactive element for any public environment, meeting the rigorous demands of modern city planning and smart infrastructure development.
