In a world that constantly encourages us to move faster, the spaces we design should offer moments of pause. Thomas Steele is redefining outdoor relaxation with an expanded collection of swing benches—furniture that invites community connection, unparalleled comfort, and a gentle sway.
Building upon the proven success of our flagship Langdon Swing Bench, we are thrilled to introduce three new, captivating designs: Ashton, Carnival, and Monona. This expanded collection features versatile new mounting options, including freestanding frames and optional canopy selections, offering even more flexibility to craft high-value amenities that make people feel at home.
Swing benches are more than just seating; they are intentional design elements that elevate the user experience. Incorporating a swing bench means adding a powerful, inviting amenity that offers immediate return in user engagement and aesthetic appeal.
A Restful Experience: The subtle, rhythmic motion serves as a calming element, encouraging users to slow down, unwind, and find a moment of peace in busy environments like urban parks or corporate courtyards.
Encourage Connection & Engagement: Designed for sharing, swing benches naturally encourage conversation and interaction, fostering a stronger sense of community within a public space and creating memorable, high-value amenities.
Create a Signature Moment: Unlike stationary seating, the gentle sway provides a unique, relaxing experience, giving people a reason to linger and fully engage with the space you've created.
Add Visual Appeal & Aesthetic Versatility: With their distinctive silhouette and timeless style, our swing benches add unique visual interest, acting as welcoming focal points that can be customized to fit any landscape aesthetic.
Our expanded collection brings more styles and options than ever before, ensuring there is a perfect swing bench to fit every design vision, from classic to modern.
Langdon Swing Bench:
As the original bench that launched our swing collection, the Langdon Swing Bench is the foundation of our success. It brings a modern twist to classic comfort, handcrafted with your choice of strap, wood, or recycled plastic seating. Designed to invite relaxation and connection, the Langdon is a standout piece perfect for parks, paths, and gathering spaces.
The Ashton Swing Bench delivers handcrafted elegance with its inviting comfort and timeless character. Its defining feature is a signature curve carried through the seat and frame, creating a truly relaxing seat that complements any setting, from busy promenades to quiet corners. Available in a variety of materials, including wood, recycled plastic, or metal strap seating, the Ashton offers the ultimate in customizable charm.
