seating furniture

Sofas have long been provided on squares and streets, in parks and beds, under trees and along quays. This furniture turns the public domain into a public space, ensures the distinction between street and stone road; it turns the outdoor space into a space where it is pleasant to sit, rest, communicate, observe or even play. For many years, the city of Antwerp installed ‘centaure’ benches. This turned out to be an extremely maintenance-friendly sofa because of its simple composition with a minimum of parts. With this in mind, a standard was created that met a high set of requirements, ranging from maintainability to functionality to budget-friendliness. This standard bench is maintained, the possible variations are even extended .长期以来，广场、街道、公园、休憩躺卧区、树荫之下及码头沿岸均设有这类公共坐具。这类家具将公共领地转化为公共活动空间，厘清了步行街道与石砌路面的边界；同时将户外空间打造为可供人惬意落座、休憩、交流、观察乃至嬉戏的场所。多年来，安特卫普市一直布设‘森托尔’（centaure）长椅。该款坐具因结构简洁、部件极少，被证明是一款极便于维护的公共坐具。鉴于此，相关方制定了一套严苛的标准，覆盖可维护性、功能性与预算友好性等多维度要求。该标准长椅已纳入运维体系，且其可选衍生款式还得到了进一步拓展。
