Landscape Forms, North America’s leading designer and manufacturer of high-design site furniture, structure, lighting and accessories, is pleased to introduce the Booth line of social seating.

Booth was designed to create interaction spaces that are fresh yet familiar, taking the warmth, comfort and semi-privacy of a widely enjoyed indoor seating experience and reimagining it for the outdoors. It's a social design, intended to define spaces that bring people together and encourage closeness and quality conversation.

"Booth was inspired by our profound need as humans to anchor ourselves in outdoor spaces," describes Landscape Forms Chief Creative Officer, Kirt Martin. "We've taken the familiar typology of an indoor booth, and brought it outdoors-giving people an intuitive, welcoming and intimate space to come together to work, dine or socialize. It creates a room within a room outdoors, and it's never been done before this way."

Designed by the Landscape Forms design team, Booth was initially created for internal use on the company's own campus. Following much positive reception and an unmet need for this type of seating solution voiced by its customers, Landscape Forms is introducing Booth as a widely available standard product. The Booth line includes two silhouettes-a tall back booth and a low back booth-designed to meet face-to-face in pairs. Two booths fit tightly together when arranged back-to-back, enabling space-efficient groupings for generous outdoor seating and dining space. Further, an Outdoor Booth can also stand alone as an architectural bench, as an accessible one-sided booth, or against a wall as modern banquette-style seating. Booths pair ideally with a range of Landscape Forms' tables, including the new Contour line, to create elegant and cohesive outdoor social settings.

Booth's rounded corners and softened edges create a comfortable character, while a subtle flare to the form of the seat and metal support structure offers a friendly, inviting gesture. Hooks located on both sides of the booth toward the top of the back provide convenient storage for bags and coats. Both the tall back and low back booths feature warm, fillet-edged wood slats for the seat and back, and the design for the tall back booth includes an additional powdercoated metal portion atop the back to enhance senses of privacy and intimacy. They're offered in a range of Landscape Forms' sustainable, naturally weathering exterior woods, including a new dassoXTR Fused Bamboo® option engineered specifically for use outdoors. Fused bamboo is incredibility stable and durable, elegantly dark in color, and is sustainable with very low environmental impact.

Versatility in arrangement coupled with Booth's distinct design focus on balancing openness and accessibility with privacy and intimacy creates a new wealth of possibilities in the way people engage with outdoor space. "The obvious use case is outdoor dining, but we see a lot of potential for Outdoor Booth in spaces like corporate and higher education campuses to do much more as well," says Landscape Forms Director of Design, Ryan Heiser. "We've had them installed on our campus for a while now, and they're enjoyed constantly for everything from meetings, to small group collaboration, to individual work."
