A safer and more inviting city with Bob Betong
The free-flowing sofa Bob for indoor use has now been adapted to all kind of seasons in a close collaboration between
Blå Station and Starka, which has 80 years of experience in the manufacture of concrete for special applications.
The heavy-duty version of Stefan Borselius and Thomas Bernstrand’s meticulously designed modular sofa system can furnish public
space all around the city with generous seatings for everyone. Have a break, eat your lunch, read a book, wait for a friend.
Bob Betong offers comfortable meeting places in parks, town squares and along sidewalks. The seating elements can be built in
straight lines, placed at an angle or in zigzag-patterns which will allow for a major upgrade of the public sphere. Bob Betong’s
rounded soft forms will break up monotonous and anonymous surroundings, at the same time acting as a sturdy physical barrier
protecting citizens on foot from invasive and stressful traffic. Bob Betong can be used to enrich new public spaces or give older
ones a new life, while at the same time securing the city from all kind of threats. Bob Betong is at ease around entrances to
companies as well as public institutions where the city as a place for growing together is enhanced. Bob Betong contributes to a
reborn public space where citizens will have the opportunity to conquer the city anew and create places for debate, meetings,
and of course life itself.
Bob Betong is cast in seating sections, which weigh in at 250 kilogram. Up to 9 Bob Betong sections can be attached together,
and they can also be fixed into the ground or to concrete slabs. Bob Betong offers a solution that will furnish public space with
accommodating seatings, which also acts as safety barriers with impact resistance. The concrete is impregnated to give a resistant
and maintenance free surface. Optional anti-graffiti coating is available. The same goes for Oppo Betong also seen in this picture.
