The Seating for Stations 3 stands out due to its distinctive wave-like form and symmetrical structure. The seating is divided into two identical parts that are connected by a wave crest, which not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides structural strength and resistance. This design approach allows for the use of fewer materials without compromising on comfort.
Constructed using traditional materials such as wood, plywood, metal, MDF, and plastic, the Seating for Stations 3 is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. With dimensions of 1420mm in length, 600mm in width, and 925mm in height, this seating solution offers ample space for individuals to relax and wait comfortably.
One of the key strengths of this design is its versatility. While primarily intended for use in train stations, the Seating for Stations 3 can also be installed in parks and other public spaces, enhancing the overall ambiance and providing a comfortable seating option for visitors. Its ergonomic design ensures that users can sit for extended periods without discomfort.
During the design process, Viktor Kovtun and his son Yuriy faced several challenges, including connecting the curved surfaces seamlessly and finding the optimal balance between design, functionality, manufacturing, and installation. However, their dedication and innovative thinking resulted in a seating solution that not only meets these challenges but also exceeds expectations.
The Seating for Stations 3 received recognition for its exceptional design and practicality. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2014. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate professional and industrial requirements, integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics. The Seating for Stations 3 stands as a testament to the designer's commitment to creating well-designed, practical, and innovative creations.
With its combination of comfort, eco-friendliness, and stylish design, the Seating for Stations 3 is a remarkable addition to public spaces. Its unique form, efficient use of materials, and versatility make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a seating solution that combines functionality and aesthetics.
