Bailey Streetscene has manufactured and supplied a range of outdoor social seating for De Montfort University. The university has recently redeveloped their schools of Art, Architecture and Design.

Bailey Streetscene were asked to provide a suitable social seating area to look onto the large outdoor video screen that is on the side of the Vijay Patel Building. A variety of products from the Bailey Streetscene Linares seating range were chosen with the aim of creating a attractive alternative to a more plain concrete design.

The Linares product line was chosen based upon its modern, minimalist looks, its flexibility and also the fact that, despite its designer appeal, its cost fell well within the client’s budget. Bespoke anti-skate studs were also fitted to all benches, seats & stools supplied, to discourage any skating activity and the subsequent damage it can cause.

Barbara Matthews, PVC Dean of the Faculty of Art, Design and Humanities, said:"DMU is about inspiring students and helping them go onto great things and these new buildings are going to help them achieve that.”
