YOUR FORUM FOR PLAY, SPORTS UND LEISURE AREAS
Ergonomic, active sitting due to rubber torsional elements “A whole new seating experience; you sit so comfortably that you would prefer not to stand up any more,” was the unanimous opinion of many people after having tested the seating furniture in public space for the first time. We were directly approached with new suggestions for designs and installation sites, which are to be implemented soon.
In recent years, people’s preferences have more and more shifted from indoor to outdoor leisure time activities. People have discovered active life long ago and have become more healthconscious. Outdoor fitness parks that are used by people of all ages are built in many places. The Rosta rubber torsional element is installed in some of these pieces of keep-fit equipment,
which use the element’s multiple functions (resilience, cushioning effect, support, hidden stop).
Rhönradbau Zimmermann and Rosta Gummifederelemente also bear the breaks and relaxation phases in mind. Together they designed seating furniture that is suitable for a wide range of applications and offers great seating comfort due to the gentle rocking motion. Depending on whether the entire seat is springloaded or only the back rest, you experience a completely different seating sensation. At no time does a feeling of instability arise for the seating furniture only follows the guided movement. The slightly progressively increasing torque counteracts the seesawing motion with a small force.
Depending on their installation site, the benches without back rest are sometimes used as balance
beams in school playgrounds. Protected, maintenance-free bearings that are fitted with stops meet all safety aspects.
The Rosta rubber suspension element knows no “Zebulon effect“ for when you stand up the cushioning effect of the elastomers prevents the seating furniture from rocking back. Rhönradbau
Zimmerman supplies seating furniture ranging from single seats to benches. Individual design and material requests are taken into consideration in open space design; the seating furniture will always fit.
Installation sites: school playground, community centre,
urban park in Taunusstein. Further information: www.rosta.de
