Exemplifying a harmonious blend of innovative design, superior materials & exceptional durability. The ideal choice for outdoor environments.
Via Seating’s outdoor furniture collections exemplify a harmonious blend of innovative design, superior materials & exceptional durability, making them an ideal choice for enhancing various outdoor environments. In collaboration with the esteemed Italian brand URBANTIME®, renowned for its high-design outdoor and public space furnishings since 1983, Via Seating offers products that are both aesthetically pleasing and built to withstand the rigors of daily use.
A defining feature of Via Seating’s outdoor collection, in partnership with URBANTIME®, is the use of high-quality, durable materials specifically engineered to thrive in outdoor environments. Designed to withstand constant exposure to the elements, these materials provide unmatched strength, longevity & aesthetic appeal, ensuring that each piece maintains its structural integrity & visual appeal over time.
At the core of URBANTIME® designs is a focus on galvanized & powder-coated steel & aluminum, carefully selected for their superior weather resistance. Galvanization protects steel components from rust & corrosion, while powder-coating adds an extra layer of defense against UV rays, moisture & abrasions, preserving the furniture’s finish in even the harshest conditions. These materials make URBANTIME® outdoor solutions ideal for high-traffic public spaces, commercial patios, parks, schools & transit hubs, where durability & low maintenance are essential.
Unlike traditional outdoor furniture that may degrade over time, URBANTIME® pieces are built to last, requiring minimal upkeep to retain their strength & beauty. Their corrosion-resistant, UV-stable properties ensure long-term performance, making them a smart investment for outdoor environments that demand both functionality & design excellence.
What truly sets this collection apart is not just the materials used, but how they’re processed. URBANTIME® manufactures with a lean production philosophy—an approach rooted in continuous improvement and waste elimination. This methodology minimizes overproduction, optimizes material use & streamlines processes to maximize efficiency without compromising on craftsmanship. Each product is intentionally designed to simplify assembly and reduce material waste at every stage, from prototyping to final production. By applying lean thinking, URBANTIME® ensures that the environmental footprint of each product is kept to a minimum while maintaining a high standard of quality.
This lean-driven process aligns seamlessly with Via Seating’s broader commitment to sustainability and responsible manufacturing. Every component in the outdoor collection is 100% recyclable, painted with non-toxic finishes & adheres to the European Minimum Environmental Criteria (MEC). Products are rigorously tested for resistance to corrosion through intensive salt spray cycles, verifying their readiness for real-world applications where longevity is non-negotiable.
