Landscapeforms Multiplicity Bench
MULTIPLICITY TABLE
MULTIPLICITY TABLE
Designed by Yves Béhar
The multiplicity backless bench shares the same form language as the backed bench and like it is solid and grounded, interactive and user-focused.
The cast aluminum bench with wood seat is offered in straight and mitered versions that enable virtually limitless configurations.
The backless bench is wider than the backed version, allowing people to sit back-to-back as well as forward to increase social activity in a space.
The bench is a perfect companion to the multiplicity table under which it efficiently slides. As in the backed bench, long seat boards are supported on the underside by steel straps to ensure stability and enable flat shipping.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The multiplicity table is designed and engineered to live a long, useful life in outdoor spaces without the use of chemical cleaners to maintain the finish. The durability, longevity and low maintenance of our products contribute to responsible stewardship of the earth’s resources.
-Metal : Clean surface as needed using a soft cloth or brush with a mild detergent. Avoid steam cleaning, abrasive cleansers, carbon steel brushes/wools and cleaners containing chlorine.
-Wood : Exterior woods require no maintenance. If desired, the surface may be scrubbed with warm soapy water and soft bristle brush. Pressure washing, steel wool/wire brushes are not recommended. Heavily ingrained stains may be sanded away with fine grade sandpaper worked in the direction of the grain. Sanded wood will weather to a gray patina.
