“Y” is a design for scalable park and garden furniture. This unconventional outdoor seating idea consists of a series of vertical slats of wood. They are linked together by adjustable assembly fixings, offering a wide range of configuration options. The qualities of “retified”, (thermally treated) wood enable the furniture to withstand outdoor weather conditions. “Y” is named after the geometric shape of the basic module, which is thus transformed from a visual motif into a functional form.
