Parkly seating areas - modular, sustainable and multi-functional elements for the urban environment

The colourful seating areas, developed in Finland by Paivi Raivio and Daniel Bumann, are now available at BURRI.

A Shared Vision: Connecting People

At the parkly team and BURRI, connecting people and contributing to a vibrant democratic society is a central element of the company’s vision.
The modular urban furniture transforms any outdoor space into a green and welcoming place where people can meet, play, and relax. Whether you want to enliven a neighborhood, make a street space greener, or upgrade a break area – with parkly’s modular elements, it’s simple and straightforward.

Modular, Circular, and Flexible
Parkly modules come in various shapes, colors, and sizes. The product system can be easily combined and stacked to create different configurations: pocket parks, parklets, seating areas, and more. The standard elements can be repeatedly reassembled into new combinations as user needs change.

Sustainability as a Design Principle

Sustainable design principles were a priority in the development of Parkly: it’s made from high-quality materials, and each part can be replaced or repaired. Parkly modules can be stored and transported flat-packed, saving both transport and storage costs.

Sustainability in the City
Parkly modules encourage movement, relaxation, and contribute to a pleasant urban climate with integrated planters. For every Parkly module produced, the company compensates by protecting 20 square meters of old-growth forest in Finland through the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation.

[...]Public space is understood as a place that is only created through the encounter of different people, approaches and opinions. In this sense, the existence of public space is a central feature and a prerequisite for the urban, which is characterized by diversity and difference, by the “encounter with the foreign”

Co-Creating Better Places
With Parkly, the process of creating better places can be a collaborative and participatory experience. Together, we can choose a location, plan the right design with ParklyCreate, decide which plants and functions are needed, and jointly implement the project.

Change for More Livable Cities
Parkly is based on the idea of tactical urbanism. It supports sustainable urban development through a flexible, community-focused, and cost-effective approach that encourages experimentation, learning, and the gradual implementation of sustainable solutions.
