Site Furniture Selection and Placement Guides

Site Furniture Selection and Placement Guides

LandF/X presents Site Furniture Selection and Placement Guides

Watch Maglin's Industrial Designer Clayton Mousley discuss the importance of site furniture selection and placement during this LandF/X webinar.

Furniture is just one component in the design of the public realm. As designers and manufacturers, we have to take into consideration the function and goals of the site when designing products and the places they end up shaping. Navigation patterns and intent to use the elements (amenities) within a space are just as important as the aesthetics of the product itself. We focus on people who will use the site – how and when they will do so. A flexible product provides countless layout opportunities and can adapt to the site's functional goals. Follow our design considerations, and learn how to turn your spaces into places.
