The Strauss bench was created for interior or exterior use. Creating a 60 degree footprint, Strauss is able to be configured in circular or free form patterns, used in series or singular. Designed via Solidworks, a stainless tube steel substructure is clad in solid, full length, full width hardwood to allow for complete expansion and contraction void of de-lamination of wood joinery. Minimal wood to steel contact is made to minimize retention of moisture. A constant 4 inch thickness is retained with horizontal and vertical elements (with appropriate gapping). Exterior benches are sealed with penetrating marine grade conversion oil (formulated for wooden boat decking). Sitting 18” above grade, exterior benches are raised an extra 8 inches for subterranean installation to cement footings, then backfilled with crushed granite. The Strauss bench is 100% designed and manufactured in Saint Louis, USA.
