Blox, Maglin’s new line of bench seating, takes its cues from brutalist architecture—bold, angular geometry, and a solidity that commands attention without overwhelming a space. Wide Douglas Fir planks sit within an all-steel frame, creating a striking contrast between solid structure and warm, natural material. Together, these elements establish a bench with a clear structural presence, capable of anchoring plazas, campuses, and civic landscapes.

Blox offers a range of configurations that support how people actually gather. Backed, backless, and stool formats can be used independently or combined to create seating arrangements that define space and draw people in. The consistent design language across all configurations means mixed arrangements read as deliberate rather than assembled. Slats can be oriented left-to-right or front-to-back, allowing designers to further influence the visual rhythm and orientation of the bench within its context.

Douglas Fir, responsibly harvested from PEFC-certified Pacific Northwest forests, offers an exceptional balance of strength, durability, and resilience, while its pronounced grain introduces warmth and visual depth. A fully welded steel frame provides structural stability, while stainless steel feet elevate the bench to reduce ground contact and extend service life. Maglin’s advanced coating system, available in 21 colors, protects against corrosion and wear in demanding public environments.

For projects requiring environmental documentation, Blox is supported by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), enabling transparent material evaluation and informed specification.

Through its combination of confident geometry and carefully shaped timber, Blox demonstrates how expressive form and everyday comfort can coexist within contemporary public space.
