Kita backless bench

The Kita backless bench was designed by Stéphane Chapelet for LAB23. Its powder-coated steel frame and natural wood slats make a simple, light seat for parks, squares, gardens and terraces.

An open seat

With no backrest, the bench can be used from both sides. The ends of the frame rise slightly and frame the wooden slats, a detail that signs the whole range. The wood gives soft, thermal comfort in summer and winter alike.

With the Kita table

On its own along a path, or in pairs on either side of the Kita table, it forms an outdoor dining set in matching colours.

Materials and finishes

• Frame: galvanised, powder-coated steel

• Slats: natural wood, pine or tropical hardwood

• Colours: mimosa yellow, fir green, sage green, terracotta red, slate grey, or any RAL shade

• Delivery: assembled or flat-packed

• Fixing: anchor bolts on a base plate hidden in the legs

Doing more with less

The Kita collection applies the famous "less is more": doing more with less, to offer premium lines at the right price. Each product starts from two or three pencil strokes and follows the same principle: a tube joined to a flat bar, a constant across the whole range.

The Kita range

The Kita range also includes a bench, a seat, a sunbed, a bin, a bike stand and a bollard. All the details are on kita-lab23.com.
