Street furniture
(city and park benches)

The city of Rotterdam commissioned sustainable seating in the public space. Practical, beautiful and durable street furniture offers passers-by a place to sit. Nowadays strict sustainability requirements are imposed on street furniture. Sustainability is something that Van den Berg Hardwood is involved in on a daily basis. All our hardwood is FSC® certified. This way, we contribute to sustainable forest management. We supplied FSC® Cumaru wood for various benches in the busy port city of Rotterdam.

A number of hardwoods are ideal for wooden street furniture, including Cumaru and Okan. These hardwoods owe their applicability to good customisability and durability. A bench in the outdoor area must have a smooth finish to offer maximum seating comfort. Sustainability is also an important factor. As a municipality, you want as little maintenance as possible for any street furniture. Hardwood, in its highest durability class, lasts for over 25 years.
