AL HASIRA is inspired by the rise in the need to enjoy the comfort and ambiance of Dubai’s sensational outdoor scenes. During the time of the year when the weather conducive for outdoor activity, it is almost impossible to resist the atmosphere at a park or in the Deserts. On the other hand, when it gets hot in the summer, most people would rather spend their time out on the beach. The Idea for Al Hasira stems from the intrinsic need to seat lower to the ground when at a park, the beach, plaza or square. It has become a common practice to use a combination of mats and pillows / cushions or anything that can be used to get comfortable in certain the outdoor spaces like the beach, a patch of grass, the park or the desert. With Al Hasira, we combine these possibilities into one single panel, which encourages a variety of postures ( i.e. seating, laying and so on), that can be combined together to facilitate interaction in parks, plazas, the desert, the beaches, on the sidewalk and several other public spaces such as the lobby of a building.
AL Hasira is a multi-functional piece of furniture that can be customized to fit a variety of seatingconfigurations and a multitude of colors, materials and texture. This sleek piece consists of two majorcomponents, a base material for support and a cushion material to make seating comfortable.Depending on the client’s preference and the function of a space, the piece could be customized with ajuxtaposition of Fiberglass or Corian (for base material) and leather, rubber or wool (for cushion material) which would be suitable for interior spaces. On the other hand, for outdoor environments, in order to have a more timeless design or material option, clients may prefer a combination of a fiberglass or concrete base with timber (red meranti or teak) seating. Every Urban space is different, be it an interior space, sidewalk or a landscape, they all have their individual character. Al Hasira provides the client with the opportunity to personalize their benches, to make it unique to them and to their spaces.
