Description
The Photon solar bench (02.409.3) represents the pinnacle of modern urban furniture, merging sustainable energy technology with sophisticated design. Designed by Filip Babiarz, this smart city solution is engineered to integrate seamlessly into public spaces, providing both a comfortable seating area and advanced functional utility. The structure is available in either durable carbon steel (S235JR) or high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring long-term resistance to environmental conditions. The seat is crafted from high-quality European coniferous or exotic wood, including options for soft wood, hard wood with an oil finish, or premium hardwood, offering a tactile and aesthetic experience that complements contemporary street furniture standards.
Functionality is at the core of the Photon solar bench, which features a robust 100 W photovoltaic system that powers a range of integrated electronic features. Standard equipment includes two USB-A 3.0 ports and one USB-C 3.0 Quick Charge port, ensuring users can charge mobile devices efficiently while outdoors. The system operates within a wide temperature range of -20°C to 60°C and is supported by a selection of either gel (36 Ah) or lithium (40 Ah) batteries. For enhanced user interaction, the bench can be equipped with optional features such as a wireless charger (10 W), a Bluetooth speaker or a speaker with built-in memory, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, transforming this bench into a multifunctional digital hub. The subtle ambient LED lighting (2 x 1m, neutral white) further enhances safety and visual appeal during evening hours.
Flexibility in design allows the Photon line to adapt to diverse spatial requirements. The bench can be customized with optional accessories, including a side table and a bicycle rack, which can be mounted on the left or right side, or both. Installation is facilitated through a secure bolt-to-foundation method, ensuring stability in high-traffic pedestrian areas. To reinforce branding, custom company or municipal logos can be integrated via stainless steel etching or precise milling into the wooden seat components. With its expansive dimensions of 279 cm in width and a sturdy, well-balanced weight ranging from 170 kg to 193 kg, the Photon solar bench stands as a premier example of innovative urban furniture, designed to foster connectivity and sustainability in the evolving cityscape.
