Case Studies
Commissioned by the City Council of Hengelo, Netherlands, Falco worked with Dutch designers IPV Delft to design and manufacture four bespoke seating systems for Hengelo city centre, in the district of Overijssel.
Street Furniture with Multiple Features
The idea of the project was to design a single piece of street furniture that could consolidate multiple features into one, instead of purchasing and installing separate street furniture items.
Based upon the popular FalcoLinea series of street furniture, Falco manufactured four extra large seating systems consisting of three units: a bench without back, a seat with back and planter. The seats are manufactured from hardwood and recyclable galvanised steel with distinctive orange infill panels.
Having recently installed the benches in Hengelo, the end result was welcomed by the City Council and members of the public. The four bespoke seating systems work exceptionally well in urban areas such as cities and town centres where space for street furniture items may be strictly limited.

Falco has been a family company with its own production site for over 70 years. Sustainability was in our DNA from the very beginning and this is reflected within our complete range of modular cycle parking and shelter products, all designed with full circularity in mind.
All products ranges are contemporary and durable, typical of a Falco product. Falco has been at the forefront of the cycle parking and street furniture market and has built up a renowned reputation for manufacturing products that exceed in both design and durability.
Falco’s operations have supported the Circular Economy for many years, simply manufacturing products with environmentally friendly products, that can last for decades and at the end of the product life can be 100% recycled and manufactured back into a brand new product.
