BENKERT BANKE ONTIGO 10 Modular recycled plastic bench with back

With the ONTIGO 10, BENKERT BÄNKE introduces a true statement piece to public spaces: a modular, 3D-printed bench that stands out not only for its sculptural design, but also for its intelligent inner values.‎ Made from 100% recycled industrial plastic film and reinforced with glass fiber, this series combines sustainability, functionality, and a new aesthetic approach to urban furniture.‎ Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.‎ ONTIGO 10 is more than just a bench – it’s a system.‎ Thanks to its modular design, it can be adapted to almost any architectural setting: straight, angled, with or without backrests, and available in various lengths – everything is possible.‎ The combination of 3D-printed components with proven in-house stainless steel elements ensures a construction that is not only durable and stable, but also surprisingly lightweight.‎ Installation is simple and can be carried out by just two people, with no need for cranes or heavy equipment.‎ The ONTIGO 10 series offers a wide variety of configurable elements that can be flexibly combined into custom seating landscapes: classic bench modules, compact stool units, spacious double-bench versions, and special transition modules that enable changes in direction or flowing, organic shapes.‎ Additional elements with integrated planters allow green spaces to be harmoniously incorporated into the seating concept.‎ For added comfort, armrests and small, functional tables can also be integrated – ideal for urban meeting points, public lounges, or semi-private courtyards.‎ ONTIGO 10 also impresses from a functional standpoint: an integrated drainage system ensures that rainwater is channeled away effectively – no standing water, no puddles, and no extra maintenance.‎ The textured, slightly sloped surface supports a natural self-cleaning effect, allowing dirt and moisture to simply roll off.‎ Even with frequent use, the bench remains clean and inviting.‎ The 3D-printed material used in the ONTIGO 10 series is not only visually striking, but also technically impressive: the combination of recycled plastic and glass fiber reinforcement makes each element extremely robust, impact-resistant, and highly resistant to vandalism.‎ Thick walls and a fully enclosed structure leave no weak points for damage – neither from weather conditions nor from intentional harm.‎ ONTIGO 10 was developed for high-traffic areas – and built to stay beautiful.‎ ONTIGO elements are available in three understated base colors: White, Anthracite, and Mixed Grey.‎ All versions feature a ribbed, matte surface with a pleasantly tactile feel – easy to clean, durable, and ideal for long-term use.‎ For outdoor settings, we particularly recommend Mixed Grey: the subtly variegated tone creates visual depth, effectively conceals dirt, and enhances the already resistant surface against vandalism and everyday wear.‎ The stainless steel components can be custom-coated – with more than 8,500 available shades including our in-house colors and standard systems such as RAL, NCS, or Pantone.‎ The ONTIGO 10 series consists of two product types: 1.‎ The modular system A smart, flexible construction kit that allows the creation of custom seating landscapes – adaptable to a wide variety of architectural settings.‎ It includes: straight and angled seating elements options with or without backrests transition and corner modules optional armrests, tables, or integrated planters 2.‎ Standalone furniture pieces Three sculptural, freestanding pieces that can be used individually or in combination with other elements: the ONTIGO 10 Bench the ONTIGO 10 Stool the ONTIGO 10 Double Bench All ONTIGO 10 elements are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, are weather-resistant, UV-stable, and vandal-resistant.‎ Despite their substantial appearance, they are surprisingly lightweight and can be installed or repositioned by just two people – no crane or heavy equipment required.‎ An integrated drainage system ensures efficient water runoff and protects the structure and planting from waterlogging.‎ ONTIGO 10 is available in three refined base colors: White, Anthracite, and Mixed Grey.‎ For outdoor use, Mixed Grey is especially recommended – a tone that visually masks dirt while enhancing the surface’s already high resistance to wear and vandalism.‎ Stainless steel elements can be powder-coated in over 8,500 color options, including RAL, NCS, and Pantone shades.‎ ONTIGO 10 brings a new dimension to urban furniture – precisely manufactured, sustainably designed, and versatile in every application.‎ Some pieces of furniture don’t just impress through their design – they tell stories.‎ The ONTIGO series is such a statement: a tribute to contemporary urban furniture, to innovative manufacturing, and to a future in which aesthetics and sustainability go hand in hand.‎ For over 40 years, BENKERT BÄNKE has stood for durable stainless steel urban furniture – crafted with the highest precision, built for generations.‎ With the new ONTIGO series, we are opening a visionary new chapter: design objects that are not only functional and robust but also make a strong statement for sustainable innovation.‎ What makes ONTIGO truly unique is not just its distinctive design language, but above all the material and expertise behind it: the modular furniture series is produced using a 3D printing process and made from 100% recycled industrial plastic film – waste material that would otherwise remain unused is given new purpose.‎ Reinforced with glass fiber, the result is a highly stable, weather-resistant, and long-lasting material.‎ In combination with precisely manufactured stainless steel components, we fuse this new technology with over 40 years of experience in urban furniture.‎ The result is a series that impresses not only with its aesthetics but also with its durability, functionality, and quality – made for everyday use and built for the future.‎ This innovative material offers exceptional strength while being surprisingly lightweight.‎ Even large-volume pieces can be moved without the need for heavy equipment – installation is simple and can be carried out by just two people.‎ The series includes seating elements and planters that integrate seamlessly into both indoor and outdoor spaces – from urban plazas and office buildings to modern lobbies and rooftop terraces.‎ The combination of high-quality stainless steel elements with customized color accents gives ONTIGO a look that is both technically precise and artistically bold.‎ Each ONTIGO piece is built layer by layer in the 3D printing process – a method that creates not only stability but also a unique aesthetic.‎ The fine lines of each layer create a dynamic play of light and shadow that shifts with the viewer’s perspective.‎ The surface is deliberately matte, giving it a high-end, modern appearance and a surprisingly pleasant tactile feel.‎ ONTIGO invites not only to sit or plant – but to touch, explore, and experience.‎ The forms are deliberately organic, almost sculptural.‎ They invite people to pause, linger, and marvel.‎ ONTIGO represents a new generation of urban furniture: resource-conscious in production, thoughtfully designed, and uncompromisingly robust.‎ For people who expect more – and for spaces that are ready to tell their story.‎ Further info from manufacturer on ONTIGO 10 BENKERT BANKE
