NautiqueModular beach lounging system

The Nautique modular beach lounging system was developed to address the

issues of graffiti, aesthetics, accessibility and longevity in beach proximity street

furniture. Many of the current street furniture installations in beach locations are

the same as non-marine areas; as a result, coastal conditions cause detrimental

damage to public infrastructure.

Nautique’s particular materials selection minimises the maintenance required. The

top slatted structure is cut from sheets of coloured high density polyethylene

(HDPE) - a material that has a large strength to density ratio, can withstand veryhigh temperatures, has incredible moisture, impact, chemical and abrasion

resistance and can be fusion welded. The legs, flanges and support frames are

made of anodised aluminium, which allows them to achieve corrosion resistance.

The combination of HDPE and anodised aluminium minimises the maintenance

required over the course of its life.

Site Visits

A number of sites were visited toresearch the need for a redesign or theaddition to the outdoor furniture space.

The Greenway in Leichhardt is a popularcommunity area, housing a cafe and ano -leash dog park. It has plenty of furniture and lighting, but noneparticularly suited to its use.

Coogee Beach, although incrediblypopular with locals and visitors, has no

Issues

The issues I set myself to address were

those of grati, aesthetics, accessibilityand longevity in street furniture.

As seen above, grati can be quite adeterrent to many demographics thatmight be looking to use the area. Theprevalence of grati can be alleviatedthrough the use of specic materials andensuring the space is in use quite often.

Inspiration

In developing the nal form, examples of furniture that combine a table/chair wereresearched and their installation andoperation methods scrutinised.

While beach furniture options were also

more convoluted than is optimal withinthe street furniture realm. Thus, the nalform had the option for shade, but notone that is standard within the product.Additionally, the extra relaxation thatbeach furniture provides was also

This diagram is an example of theyield Nautique can achieve from a

3000x1500x30mm sheet of HDPE.Between 2.5 and 3 modules can beclaimed, if colour is kept consistent.

With varying colour and thicknesses,potentially more, due to uniform

machining processes.
