Responsible modular seating,
water features and planters
Open 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday
The development of a leisure centre in Consett, County Durham, required functional seating yet a colourful design to create impact to the swimming pool area.
Leading international integrated support services company, Carillion plc, were contracted to transform the swimming pool's seating area.
To give the area a sense of fun and energy Carillion chose a series of Serpentine seats in citrus yellow, zesty orange and vibrant green. The modular Serpentine seats were fitted together to create three wave-like effects by the side of the pool.
Lisa Fiddes, Project Quantity Surveyor, Carillion plc, explains:
"We wanted something colourful to bring the area to life. A blue flume had already been fitted to the pool, and by adding green, orange and yellow seats we created a dynamic aesthetic."
She added: "GeoMet's Serpentine seating is handmade, composite moulded, so we knew it would stand up to a lot of wear and tear and as it's modular in construction we could create the wave-like shape without the expense of creating a bespoke mould – it was the ideal solution!"
Serpentine creates ultimate impact in any environment thanks to its straight and curved modular seats that can be put together to create limitless designs.
Serpentine adds form and function to all large scale outdoor areas, exhibition spaces, foyers and lobbies. It's simple yet clever design allows two modules (straight and curved segments) to be fitted together to create a variety of stunning shapes.
Designed for commercial and residential use, either indoors or outside; the GeoMet range offers an alternative to traditional timber, aluminium, PVE and plastic furniture.
Available in a wide range of colours and environmentally friendly, GeoMet is also exceptionally durable, weatherproof and vandal resistant, so requires minimal maintenance whilst offering maximum visual impact.
