The Photon solar bench (02.409), designed by Filip Babiarz, represents a sophisticated advancement in urban furniture, seamlessly integrating sustainable energy technology with high-quality craftsmanship. This unilateral smart city solution serves as both a comfortable place to rest and a functional hub for modern public spaces. The structure is built from durable carbon steel or stainless steel, ensuring longevity and resilience in various environmental conditions. The seating surface, crafted from premium European or exotic hardwoods, offers an elegant aesthetic that complements the sleek, modern silhouette of the bench. Measuring 278 cm in width, this robust piece of street furniture is designed for permanent installation via bolting to a foundation, ensuring stability in high-traffic pedestrian areas.
Engineering excellence is at the core of the Photon line, featuring an integrated 100 W photovoltaic system that powers a comprehensive suite of smart features. The bench is equipped with two USB A 3.0 and one USB C 3.0 quick-charge ports, alongside optional 10 W wireless charging capabilities, providing essential connectivity for mobile devices. Advanced configuration options allow for the inclusion of a Wi-Fi hotspot, a sound module with Bluetooth or internal memory capabilities, and energy-efficient neutral white LED ambient lighting. The system operates reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, supported by a choice of either high-capacity 36 Ah gel batteries or 40 Ah lithium batteries, ensuring constant availability regardless of weather fluctuations.
Tailored for diverse architectural needs, the Photon solar bench offers extensive customization to enhance its utility as versatile street furniture. Optional features include a side-mounted table for convenience, as well as integrated bicycle racks on either or both sides, facilitating multi-modal urban mobility. To reinforce brand identity or municipal branding, clients can choose to have a logo professionally etched into the stainless steel frame or milled directly into the wooden elements. By combining sustainable power generation with ergonomic design, the Photon benches provide a future-oriented approach to public infrastructure, significantly improving the functionality and comfort of contemporary urban furniture layouts in modern city landscapes.
