Westeifel Werke Street Furniture

BSFG is proud to partner with Westeifel Werke, a German manufacturer of high-quality street furniture with a unique focus on social and environmental sustainability. As a non-profit organisation, Westeifel Werke combines professional manufacturing with meaningful employment and development opportunities for people with disabilities.

Street Furniture with a Purpose

Westeifel Werke offers a different approach to street furniture manufacturing. Its products are designed and manufactured within an organisation where social inclusion is central to the business model.

More than 530 people with disabilities are employed across Westeifel Werke's operations, supported through educational, therapeutic and professional development programmes. This creates meaningful employment while developing a skilled and engaged workforce.

For architects, landscape architects, developers and other specifiers, selecting Westeifel Werke products can therefore contribute to the wider social value objectives of a project, alongside delivering high-quality outdoor furniture.

High-Quality German Manufacturing

Westeifel Werke's manufacturing facility in Weinsheim, Germany, brings together specialist capabilities including wood and metal processing, surface treatment, special construction and assembly.

These processes operate within strict quality control procedures to ensure products meet demanding standards for outdoor use. The result is a collection that combines practical durability with clean, contemporary design.

Westeifel works with respected designers including Studio Wehberg, with its products recognised through multiple design awards. The resulting collection demonstrates that social responsibility and design excellence can work together rather than being competing priorities.

Contemporary Outdoor Seating

Seating forms a major part of the Westeifel Werke collection, with benches and integrated seating systems designed for parks, public spaces, residential developments, commercial landscapes, universities and other outdoor environments.

Collections including Linares, Campus, Gravis, Cado, Ordo and Gala provide a range of design approaches, from simple linear benches to more substantial seating arrangements and integrated table solutions.

Linares is particularly suited to contemporary public realm projects, combining clean lines with robust steel construction and high-quality FSC-certified timber. Configurations incorporating tables and interspersed seating can also support social interaction and more inclusive use of outdoor spaces.

Tables and Outdoor Dining

Westeifel Werke also produces a range of outdoor tables and integrated seating systems designed to support dining, socialising, working and informal activity.

Products such as Campus and Linares can be specified as coordinated seating and table arrangements, helping designers create consistent outdoor environments while providing practical spaces for groups to gather.

Their robust construction and durable materials make them suitable for demanding environments including residential developments, student accommodation, commercial sites, university campuses and public spaces.

Street Furniture for Waste Management

Alongside seating and tables, Westeifel Werke produces a range of contemporary litter bins designed to integrate naturally into public realm and landscaped environments.

Collections including Urbanis, Legio and Versio provide different capacities, forms and configurations, with options including integrated ashtrays and secure locking systems.

The coordinated design language across the collection allows litter and waste management infrastructure to become part of the overall landscape design rather than an afterthought.

FSC-Certified Timber

Environmental responsibility has been an important part of Westeifel Werke's approach for many years. The organisation was an early pioneer of FSC certification, becoming the first company in its sector to achieve certification in 1998.

FSC-certified hardwood is used across its outdoor furniture range, providing specifiers with a responsibly sourced timber option for seating and other external products.

Combined with durable construction and long product lifespans, responsible material selection helps Westeifel products support projects seeking to improve their environmental performance.

Social Value Through Specification

One of the key reasons to specify Westeifel Werke is the additional social value generated through its manufacturing model.

The organisation provides employment, training and personal development opportunities for people with disabilities, supported by educational and therapeutic services. This approach creates measurable social benefits alongside the manufacture of high-quality outdoor products.

For developers, contractors and public sector organisations with ESG, social value or responsible procurement objectives, Westeifel products provide an opportunity to connect product specification with wider social outcomes.

Designed for Sustainable Communities

Westeifel Werke products are particularly well suited to projects where sustainability, community and long-term quality are important considerations.

From new residential communities and public realm schemes to university campuses, commercial developments and landscaped spaces, the collection provides durable furniture that supports social interaction and everyday outdoor activity.

The Woodford Garden Village development in Cheshire is a strong example, where Westeifel seating and litter bins were incorporated into a major residential scheme designed around extensive public open spaces and community infrastructure.

Westeifel Werke in the UK

Through BSFG, architects, landscape architects, contractors, developers and local authorities can access the Westeifel Werke collection in the UK.

BSFG has partnered with Westeifel Werke since 2015, developing extensive knowledge of its products and supporting UK projects with product advice, technical information and specification guidance.

Design Excellence with Meaningful Impact

Westeifel Werke demonstrates that street furniture can deliver more than functionality and visual appeal. Through responsible materials, durable manufacturing and a business model centred on social inclusion, its products can contribute to the wider environmental and social objectives of a project.

Combining German manufacturing quality, contemporary design and a powerful commitment to social value, Westeifel Werke offers BSFG customers an opportunity to specify street furniture that makes a positive difference both within the spaces it occupies and through the way it is made.
