Street Furniture is a collective term for functional objects that are installed along sidewalks, streets, and roads for various purposes. The best street furniture embraces aesthetics, visual identity, function, pedestrian accessibility, and road safety. The creation of street furniture is a strong aspect of Favermann Design’s practice.

Favermann Design’s approach to street furniture elements like benches, gateways, bike racks, etc. incorporates various creative approaches that add personality, character, and even familial presence. Our inspired street furniture elements and programs underscore local environment, visual themes, sense of place, and even public health. They also strengthen a sense of the community’s social and historical value.

​

From the abstract to the ornate, the progeny of the marriage of public art and functional street furniture, sculptural benches are strong examples of how aesthetics can be applied to street furniture resulting in a specific community personality and charm. Illustrated are a few examples of Favermann Design’s bench projects.
