Named the Nebula collection, the products are designed to fill a need for considered, versatile street furniture to populate main streets and urban corridors. The collection includes bench seating, stools, tables, and a bicycle rack.</p> <p></p> <p>&ldquo;This is a collection born of necessity,&rdquo; said Carlos Madrid III, Senior Associate Principal at SOM, about the collection. &ldquo;Our firm has a long history of working at the urban scale, and we have consistently found a dearth of products in the marketplace that are flexible enough to work at the scale of the conversation, as well as the scale of the city.&rdquo;</p>
