delta bench detail

Delta bench focuses on simplifying the manufacturing processes for modular chair systems, commonly found in spaces such as hospitals or airports.

The design choices emphasize balancing structural strength with functionality, ensuring compatibility with the various accessories and exploring seamless integration methods.

By applying engineering principles, the final prototype incorporates a truss structure that provides exceptional structural strength to withstand heavy loads while simultaneously supporting an optimized accessory fitting system.

The name Delta is inspired by the prominent triangular forms characteristic of the truss design.

Delta offers simplified solutions for producers, buyers, and customers.

Its modular design allows buyers to customize benches to their business needs, giving costumers options like benches, storage compartments, chairs, and armrests modules.

For producers, using the same molds for all modules eliminates the need to create entire units, simplifying production and logistics. Modules are made to order, reducing inventory and streamlining processes.

The design enhances repairability, allowing for module replacement instead of full-unit replacement, and supports adaptability through module swaps or repositioning.

Assembly is easy, requiring no heavy machinery, enabling on-site installation by non-professionals.

Modular potential.
