Landscape Forms' Studio 431 creates custom seating for public spaces

Studio 431, the custom branch of Landscape Forms, teams up with landscape architects to craft unique site furnishings that enhance community spaces. They use a mix of materials like wood, metal, and concrete, adding features like lighting and power to create seating that boosts functionality and builds a sense of place. In Westfield, Indiana, they collaborated with DAVID RUBIN Land Collective on a wetland amphitheater with seating made of wood and concrete, flowing toward Cool Creek. At the University of Michigan’s Gerstacker Grove, alongside Stoss, they created wave-like benches from precast concrete and steel. In Rochester, Minnesota, they partnered with Coen+Partners on adaptable steel platforms wrapped in wood, showcasing how custom seating blends infrastructure, art, and social interaction across various projects.
