The Wandin outdoor seating range has long been a favourite for architects, landscape designers and councils seeking durable, contemporary public seating. Now, with the addition of a 3D bench configurator, the range becomes more powerful combining physical flexibility with interactive visualisation.
Powered by INHAABIT’s 3D Configurator platform, the Wandin modular bench configurator enables customers and staff to easily create any seating layout to enhance an outdoor space.
Designing with True Modular Freedom
Public space seating is rarely a one size fits all. Each plaza, streetscape, campus or park comes with its own requirements and creative opportunities. A modular configurator revolutionises the design and specifications process, allowing clients and staff to build any layout in minutes.
With the new Wandin seating modular configurator, clients can:
- Build custom seating layouts using interchangeable Wandin modules
- Create straight runs, corners, L-shapes and more complex configurations
- Adjust materials and finishes in real time
- Instantly visualise changes in high-quality 3D and Augmented Reality
- Send accurate specifications directly to Draffin
Instead of interpreting 2D drawings or standard PDFs, clients can interact directly with the Wandin range in 3D, visualise layouts, refine ideas and create solutions faster. This results in faster, confident design decisions and a more efficient path to launch.
The Power of a Modular Product Configurator
By design, a modular seating system provides an enormous amount of flexibility. It can be complex to specify but a 3D Configurator makes this process easy.
Key benefits include:
1. Faster Specification
Clients can experiment with layout options quickly, reducing back-and-forth communication and accelerating project timelines.
2. Reduced Errors
Rule based configuration ensures modules fit together correctly, helping maintain product requirements and avoiding costly mistakes.
3. Easy Visualisation
Interactive real-time 3D models provide a high quality way to visualise any layout, without the delays of exporting 3D renders.
4. Increased Engagement
An immersive configuration experience encourages deeper product engagement, compared to non-interactive static content.
Bringing Wandin into the Physical World with AR
Alongside the browser-based 3D configurator, the Wandin modular bench configurator provides instant Augmented Reality (AR) functionality.
Using a mobile device, clients can place their custom seating configuration directly into a real-world environment. This allows them to:
- Assess scale and proportion accurately
- Determine positioning in relation to trees and buildings
- Test material options alongside other structures
- Take on-site photos to demonstrate the final concept
AR elevates the planning process, converting it into a practical experience that further assists stakeholders before the project begins.
A Smarter Way to Showcase Modular Street Furniture
The collaboration between Draffin Street Furniture and INHAABIT demonstrates how modular product configurators can enhance urban design and street furniture manufacturing.
For architects and designers, it’s a smarter way to plan public seating.
