BSFG is pleased to introduce CIRCUS, a distinctive new modular furniture collection from our Danish partner out-sider. Designed by Thor Høy, CIRCUS challenges the traditional approach to outdoor seating, creating flexible, sociable spaces that encourage people to pause, connect and interact with their surroundings.

Inspired by the circus arena as a natural gathering point, CIRCUS moves beyond conventional bench design to create an inviting, circular environment where people can sit, meet and enjoy public spaces from different perspectives.

Designed to Bring People Together

At the heart of the CIRCUS collection are four key principles: Stay, Meet, Act and Go Green. The concept is centred on encouraging people to spend more time outdoors, creating opportunities for social interaction, informal activity and greener urban environments.

The collection consists of circular modular elements that can be used individually or combined in different heights and configurations. From low-level seating and raised platforms to tribune-style arrangements, the flexible design creates opportunities for both quiet relaxation and more active social spaces.

Integrated planting options also allow trees, shrubs and greenery to become part of the furniture layout, helping to introduce natural elements into urban environments.

A Distinctive Modular Design

Designed by Danish designer Thor Høy, CIRCUS takes inspiration from everyday objects and translates them into a flexible urban furniture system. Its open, rounded forms encourage movement and conversation, offering an alternative to traditional seating where people are typically positioned in a single direction.

The modular elements can be rotated, stacked and connected to create different layouts, giving landscape architects and designers the freedom to develop configurations suited to their surroundings.

Whether creating an informal meeting point in a public square, a welcoming social space within a university campus or a green seating area in a commercial development, CIRCUS offers plenty of scope for creative outdoor design.

Durable Materials for Outdoor Environments

CIRCUS combines carefully selected materials with a distinctive contemporary aesthetic, making it suitable for demanding public realm environments.

The seating surfaces feature 10mm compact HPL, constructed from 42 layers and available in four colours. Highly UV-resistant and weather-resistant, the material provides a durable surface designed to withstand the demands of everyday urban use.

The bases are manufactured from rotationally moulded polyethylene (PE), with a one-piece construction and a 6–7mm wall thickness. UV-resistant and hard-wearing, the PE material is also suitable for granulation and recycling.

Optional stainless steel discs can be supplied with personalised engraving, including customer names, logos or graphics, adding further opportunities for bespoke designs.
