Landscape Forms launched two new collections - Booth & Contour.
Booth, a line of social seating, was designed to create interaction spaces that are fresh yet familiar, taking the warmth, comfort and semi-privacy of a widely enjoyed indoor seating experience and reimagining it for the outdoors. It’s a social design, intended to define spaces that bring people together and encourage closeness and quality conversation.
The Booth line includes two silhouettes—a tall back booth and a low back booth—designed to meet face-to-face in pairs. Two booths fit tightly together when arranged back-to-back, enabling space-efficient groupings for generous outdoor seating and dining space. Further, an Outdoor Booth can also stand alone as an architectural bench, as an accessible one-sided booth, or against a wall as modern banquette-style seating.
Contour is Landscape Forms' first collection of high-design, highly durable tables that can comply with existing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design. To head the design of Contour, Landscape Forms enlisted the expertise of Ignacio Ciocchini, an award-winning New York City-based industrial designer recognized for his excellence in product design for cities, streetscape design and master-planning with a keen focus on accessibility.
A first in the outdoor site furnishing space, Contour is a system of mutually compatible components that can be combined to create different ADA-compliant tables that address a range of site needs and can appear all throughout a given setting. Central to the design of Contour is the idea of achieving true inclusivity, adapting the design to create a universal user experience that is the same for both non-disabled users and users with a disability.
The Contour system includes round, gently rounded square and gently rounded rectangular tabletops, each constructed from powder-coated steel, and each offered in two different sizes. The tables are then completed with a choice of four powdercoated aluminum legs or a surface-mounted pedestal constructed from either high-performance concrete or cast aluminum. Throughout Contour’s iterations, the design specifically eliminates under-table obstructions and provides an optimal height, width and depth of knee clearance to ensure all spaces at the table can be ADA-compliant.
