Closing out our takeover: Cyrca Bollards. Cyrca holds the edge between vehicle and pedestrian space without interrupting the language of the site. Stainless Steel construction, illuminated or non-illuminated, with four cap designs that align with the architecture. Security-rated options protect where performance is required, and a slimmer profile suits the paths and plazas where people set the pace.

Next from Forms+Surfaces: Hypha Benches and Tables, a system built to scale across a variety of site conditions. I, U, and L benches stand alone or combine with Hypha tables into layouts sized to the site, from a single courtyard to a full campus plan. Soft waterfall edges and circular arrangements bring people face to face. Recyclable aluminum, with an optional two-tone powder coat on the slats.

Hello from Forms+Surfaces. We’re taking over PGASLA’s feed today to share three recent products designed for the public realm, starting with the Lora Bench.
•
Lora pairs FSC® Mix Credit hardwood, sourced within 300 miles of where it’s manufactured, with Stainless Steel for durable outdoor construction. A grounded choice for streetscapes, campuses, and plazas where material responsibility carries as much weight as the design. To learn more, reach out to Jackie at [email protected]
