Introducing Tibo
A new combined bench and table system for indoor and outdoor use designed by Mark Gabbertas.
Award winning Tibo takes the familiar typologies of the outdoor picnic table and the indoor work bench, combines them and then reimagines both. The main principle of Tibo is to bring people together... to talk, work eat, drink and connect. Every aspect of the design is focused on how to make this familiar process more intuitive, convivial and productive.
Available in three shapes and sizes to seat up to 12 people, Tibo is designed to provide the easiest and most natural interaction between people, and to demonstrate that intelligent design can beneficially influence behaviour.
A more natural and efficient positioning of people is achieved by utilising the ends of a table and incorporating a semi-circular profile. The need for stepping over a bench for access is precluded, and every person's access made easier by similarly radiuses ends to these. The table size and shape have been carefully considered to allow for different ways for people to sit together, and to allow the simultaneous use of a unit by more than one group.
Both indoor and outdoor versions are engineered round an aluminium frame designed to maximise strength and rigidity but minimise the number of elements at ground level for visual clarity, ease of installation and levelling. This infinitely recyclable material is long lasting, robust, and low impact.
The base structure utilises die cast and extruded aluminium components powder coated in black or white. The tops and bench seats are available in laminated Ply or MDF for indoor use, and teak or solid core laminate for outdoor use.
