    APRIL bench

    DownloadsConfigure

    A classic bench with good comfort, with options for backrest, armrests and integrated lighting.

    APRIL series is designed by Espen Voll, Tore Borgersen, and Michael Olofsson.

    The details that matter

    Personalise with backrest and armrests

    Choose backrest and armrests to adjust comfort and accessibility for different users and environments.

    Considered and enduring design

    The simple, well-resolved form gives the bench an enduring character that works easily across a range of settings and projects.

    Award-winning design

    APRIL received the DOGA Award in 2002, one of Norway's most prestigious design awards.

    Behind the design

    April is a simple and functional bench, built from three planks on a precise steel frame. With a calm and intuitive design language, it is made to fit naturally into its surroundings. Simplicity, function and durability have been central principles in the design.

    FAQs

    We strive to make things as easy as possible for our end customers when they receive their furniture. That’s why we deliver all our furniture partially assembled from the factory. As the furniture arrives flat packed, there is still some assembling to be done. You can find assembly instructions for each product here.

    Vestre supplies 2D and 3D models of all our products. You can get access to Revit, BIM, DWG, and SketchUp by registering a user via our website here—it’s completely free.

    We offer various solutions for anchoring: casting in the ground, base plate, wall mounting or free standing.

    We often get asked about different anchoring methods and what solutions are most suitable. The boring answer is that there is no simple key to this. Choosing the right type of anchoring depends on how the area will be used, the type of base on which the furniture will stand and, last but not least, the condition of the ground underneath. We have therefore put together a simple guide to help you make the best choices for your project. Find it here.

    Vestre offers furniture made from perforated steel and HPL as alternatives to wood. For more information about which products this applies to, you can visit the product page and filter by “Perforated”, for example. You can also contact one of our skilled salespeople to get help finding the perfect solution for your exact project.

    Linseed oil-impregnated Nordic pine and Kebony Clear undergo pre-treatment which gives a browner finish. These will both fade over time and acquire a silver-grey patina.

    Vestre offers flame-retardant wood for all our furniture. There are strict requirements for furniture in indoor public projects. Vestre has a collaboration with Woodsafe which offers innovative solutions using flame-retardant wood. Feel free to contact us for prices and more information about flame-retardant impregnation.

    We supply four types of wood: pine, Kebony, oak, and ash.
    The choice of materials is a vital factor in ensuring that products are durable and can last for decade after decade. At Vestre, we use timber from one of the world’s most sustainable forestry sectors. Here you can learn more about the properties of the different types of wood we use, and each of their recommended areas of use.
