HPC Terrazzo concrete bench with stainless steel backrest BS-277 I Urban Premium Collection

Distinctive design, the elegance of stainless steel and premium-quality HPC Terrazzo concrete – BS-277 is designed for contemporary public and private outdoor spaces where aesthetics, durability and architectural individuality are essential.

BS-277 is a premium HPC Terrazzo concrete bench with a stainless steel backrest, developed for architects, landscape architects, municipalities, property developers and anyone seeking distinctive, durable and reliable street furniture solutions. As part of the Urban Premium Collection, this model stands out for its elegant form, refined lines and harmonious combination of materials, creating a sophisticated architectural feature for contemporary outdoor environments.

The bench is manufactured from High Performance Concrete (HPC) – a high-quality fibre-reinforced architectural concrete engineered to provide exceptional structural strength, low water absorption and outstanding long-term durability. HPC technology delivers excellent resistance to mechanical impact, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations, ensuring that the bench maintains its structural integrity and premium appearance even in heavily used public spaces.

Its authentic terrazzo concrete structure is created by integrating natural marble or granite aggregates throughout the concrete mass. The aggregates can be combined in a variety of colours, allowing the bench to complement different architectural and landscape concepts. The precisely ground and polished surfaces reveal the natural beauty of the stone, creating an elegant terrazzo finish with a smooth, velvety feel and excellent wear resistance. As natural stone aggregates are used, each bench features its own distinctive variations in colour and texture.

All polished surfaces are additionally treated with a hydrophobic impregnating sealer and protective coating. This advanced surface protection reduces water absorption and dirt accumulation while improving resistance to UV radiation, frost, moisture and other harsh environmental conditions. As a result, the bench retains its refined appearance for many years while requiring minimal maintenance.

The backrest is made of high-quality stainless steel, providing excellent durability, corrosion resistance and a refined contemporary appearance. The metal backrest adds visual lightness to the design and creates an elegant contrast with the solid HPC Terrazzo concrete structure.

The seating surface is available in two versions: polished HPC Terrazzo concrete or innovative Resysta® composite material. This flexibility allows the BS-277 to be adapted to the architectural character, functional requirements and maintenance expectations of each individual project.

The Resysta® composite seat provides the natural appearance and warm visual character of wood while offering significantly enhanced performance for outdoor applications. Thanks to its unique composition, Resysta® does not crack, swell, warp or rot and offers excellent resistance to moisture, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations and intensive daily use. Its low maintenance requirements make it particularly suitable for high-traffic public spaces where durability and long-term reliability are essential.

Both seating options combine perfectly with the stainless steel backrest. The polished HPC Terrazzo version creates a highly architectural and minimalist appearance, while the Resysta® version introduces a warmer, wood-like aesthetic without sacrificing the durability required for demanding outdoor environments.

Clean geometric forms, delicate lines and carefully balanced proportions make BS-277 more than simply a place to sit. It becomes a distinctive architectural feature that enhances contemporary urban spaces with elegance, character and visual harmony.

BS-277 is ideally suited for parks, public squares, pedestrian areas, promenades, business centres, shopping centres, hotels, residential developments, recreational areas and other high-traffic public spaces. It is equally suitable for private gardens, courtyards, rooftop terraces, restaurants, cafés, hospitality environments and premium residential projects, where contemporary design, durability and architectural quality are highly valued.

The bench can be seamlessly combined with HPC Terrazzo concrete planters, litter bins, outdoor tables, bicycle racks and other Urban Premium Collection street furniture, creating cohesive, elegant and functional outdoor environments.

Architects, landscape architects, urban planners and developers choose BS-277 for its distinctive design, premium materials and exceptional long-term performance. Fibre-reinforced High Performance Concrete (HPC), authentic terrazzo surfaces, a stainless steel backrest and the option of either an HPC Terrazzo or Resysta® composite seat provide an excellent combination of durability, weather resistance, design flexibility and low maintenance.

BS-277 is far more than an outdoor concrete bench with a backrest. It is a distinctive architectural element combining innovative HPC Terrazzo technology, the elegance of stainless steel, a choice of two premium seating solutions and timeless minimalist design. The Urban Premium Collection is created for projects where quality, durability and sophisticated outdoor design are uncompromising priorities.

Terrazzo – premium-quality decorative surface made from marble and granite aggregates

Terrazzo is a luxurious, long-lasting and high-quality composite stone material made from marble, granite, quartz or other natural stone aggregates, bound with cement or epoxy. Due to its high content of decorative stone, Terrazzo delivers unique aesthetics and superior technical performance that clearly surpasses traditional concrete products.

Its surface is refined through a meticulous grinding and polishing process, revealing the natural stone mosaic and creating a premium, seamless finish. Terrazzo is denser, smoother, moisture-resistant and far more durable than ordinary concrete, making it ideal for both interior and exterior use.

Thanks to these qualities, Terrazzo is widely used for outdoor furniture, small architectural elements, planters, benches, countertops, stairs, façade details and other decorative products. It maintains its beauty and durability for many years, even under heavy use and changing weather conditions.

Differences between Terrazzo and traditional concrete products with granite aggregate

1. Composition
   • Terrazzo: contains a high amount of marble and granite aggregate, giving the surface a seamless, luxurious look with rich colors. Each product is like a natural stone mosaic, where the stone is the main component and the binder only strengthens the structure.
   • Traditional concrete: the stone component is only a small fraction, while the base consists of cement and gravel. As a result, the surface often looks monotonous, flat, and less aesthetic.
2. Structure and density
   • Terrazzo: due to its dense structure and low porosity, the material does not absorb moisture, dirt, or other contaminants. This provides durability and resistance to frost, heat, and mechanical impact.
   • Concrete: is porous and more absorbent, so it wears out faster, cracks, or accumulates dirt, especially outdoors. Moisture can also damage the structure, particularly in cold climates.
3. Surface finishing
   • Terrazzo: the surface is ground and polished in several stages, revealing the natural stone pattern, colors, and texture. This finish not only enhances beauty but also makes cleaning easier.
   • Concrete: the surface is usually rough or only minimally smoothed, resulting in uneven light reflection and more difficult maintenance.
4. Aesthetics
   • Terrazzo: provides a luxurious, rich, mosaic effect appreciated by architects and designers. Each product is unique – the aggregate pattern never repeats, creating a distinctive impression.
   • Concrete: looks simpler, uniform, and less decorative, so it does not always give interior or exterior spaces a distinctive look.
5. Durability and longevity
   • Terrazzo: can last for decades as the surface retains its color, shine, and texture. Its wear resistance allows intensive use – both indoors and outdoors.
   • Concrete: wears out faster, loses color, absorbs dirt and moisture, and requires more maintenance and frequent renovation or restoration.

By choosing Terrazzo, you select a premium material that brings long-lasting beauty, uniqueness, and professional, architect-approved design to your space.
