La Fête Curved Modular Outdoor Bench, 50-Inch Arc in Marine Vinyl

The Arc is a curved bench module that turns straight rows of seating into soft, flowing layouts. One piece makes a gentle quarter-bend, two make a half circle around a pool or fire feature, and alternating them makes an S-curve for a lobby or lawn. It pairs with the Dot and Dash modules in the same vinyl colors, so a single product family can cover a whole terrace, spa or event space.

Where to use it

• Around pools, fire features and planters, where curved seating follows the shape of the space
• Hotel lobbies, spa lounges and club patios for S-curves and half circles that guide foot traffic
• Lawns and gardens as a sculptural bench, alone or in a short run
• Event layouts that mix Arc, Dash and Dot modules into islands and L-shapes
• Kids' play areas, which the brand lists among suggested uses for the modular line

Planning and installation notes

• Sketch the curve before ordering and use the brand drawing for the radius: each Arc is 50 in long overall with a 36 in inner diameter, and the photos on this page show two modules forming a half circle.
• Alternate the curve direction to make an S-shape, or place two the same way for a half circle.
• Add Dash benches at either end to extend a run; the brand states the Arc fits with Dots and Dashes.
• The unit ships assembled and is light enough for two people to place, but confirm door and gate widths for the 50 in length.
• Use one vinyl color for every piece in a run so the seams of separate modules read as one form.
• The brand does not publish fastening hardware; plan for pieces that sit side by side on a level surface.

Who it is not for

• Anyone who needs seats with backs or arms
• Very small spaces: the curve needs a clear arc
• Projects that need locked-together seating, since fasteners are not published
• Projects requiring a published weight rating, warranty term or lead time

Care

Wipe with mild dish soap and warm water, then rinse with clear water. For a stubborn mark, use a soft brush with a gentle non-abrasive cleanser and light pressure, because abrasive products can dull the vinyl's protective finish. The brand also sells its own vinyl cleaner and conditioning cream, and a damaged or outdated cover can be replaced.
