Part chair, part stool, part bench — Stuhlhockerbank breaks down the boundaries between familiar seating types and fuses them into sculptural constellations for public life. Instead of the rigid, linear bench that keeps encounters limited to pairs, these hybrids invite groups to gather, face each other, and share the moment.

The result is seating that feels both recognisable and surprising, functional yet poetic. Each piece carries a narrative quality: more than a place to rest, it becomes a stage for communication and connection in public space.

Crafted in solid oak with an oiled finish, some models can even be assembled together, creating larger arrangements. Stuhlhockerbank transforms sitting from passive waiting into active social exchange — turning everyday furniture into an invitation to talk, watch, and simply be together.
