Ideas for remodeling street furniture
When you hear about street furniture, do the typical benches to sit on or trash garbage cans to throw garbage in come to mind?
Indeed, these examples of furniture are sometimes very simple and unattractive, but they can be turned around if the rulers aim their goals towards innovation and some of the ideas that we will leave in this post.
Contrary to what many believe, the novelties for remodeling urban furniture are linked to comfort and a comfortable budget.
Hence, the latest trends consolidate the tendencies of ergonomic lines and the use of economical materials.
In fact, versatile and neutral colors stand out, seeking to break the monotony in parks or promenades to give a fun touch to the spaces.
In terms of materials, the focus is on industrial design, metallic effects, asymmetries and circular elements.
Innovation in street furniture
When we talk about innovation in urban furniture, we refer to the incorporation of knowledge, whether our own or someone else's, with the aim of generating a productive process.
In this regard, the Spanish Association of Street Furniture and Playground Manufacturers has assured that the sector is committed to promoting innovation.
Hence, the preference goes on 3 lines:
-Designs adapted to the environment and the user.
-Ecological and sustainable materials.
-Incorporation of new technologies.
Of course, in addition to accessibility to all and without generational limits or architectural barriers for people with disabilities.
Another aspect that we must highlight about innovation in street furniture is the customization and adaptation to the needs of the environments.
When we mention personalization, it goes from municipal coats of arms to the conception of exclusive and specific designs for each city, thus becoming an identifying element of the region.
In fact, due to the pace of the market, some ideas become obsolete, forcing designers and manufacturers to develop innovative models more frequently.
This is why the public space is very changeable and dynamic, which requires a flexible response for the creation of multipurpose urban furniture elements of new typology.
For example, it is a rule of thumb to meet the needs of each age group with benches of two heights for children and adults.
On the social trend towards individualism and virtual socialization, innovation in urban furniture is reflected in new designs such as individual chairs combined with spaces for the use of computers or other technological devices.
In terms of aesthetics, the lines aimed at integrating the public and humanizing the urban environment are predominant, in fact they are light, transparent and take up the minimum of space.
Another point to be highlighted is the level of adaptation of the furniture, for example, the ashtrays to comply with the new anti-smoking law or the parking and bicycle rental service.
