Parks Canada Collection

A family of furniture designed to enhance the visitor experience and unify Parks Canada's facilities. With 46 national parks and 970 historic sites, Parks Canada protects and promotes an exceptional and diverse natural and cultural heritage. To meet the needs of such a wide range of sites, we have structured the line into three collections of furniture with distinct characteristics: Essential, Bivouac and Classic.

Essential

Sober and proudly made of wood, Essentiel blends harmoniously into the natural landscape of trails and service areas. The line includes benches, tables, sports equipment racks and charcoal grills.

Inspired by timber architecture, it’s simple construction of wood and metal connectors has allowed a formal language ranging in 22 pieces of equipment and furniture. Moreover, this simplicity opens up many manufacturing options: Mass-production, small batch, or even on-site building.

Bivouac

The Bivouac collection brings together picnic tables and iconic fire rings for camping areas.

The unique architecture of the picnic tables optimizes stability and universal accessibility. In addition to the places provided at both ends of the table for wheelchair users, the space freed up at the ends of the benches allows people with reduced mobility to sit down without straddling the seat. Made from bent tubular steel, the sturdy yet lightweight structure allows the campsite to be easily rearranged.

The fire rings feature a pivoting grate that offers dual functionality. In the closed position, the grate allows food to be cooked, while in the open position, it clears the fire space to allow the comforting heat to be enjoyed to the full.

Classic

The Classic Collection offers benches, tables and bike racks for historic sites.

Not referring to any historical style, the elegance and sophistication of the collection is rather an abstract tribute to Canada's rich and pluralistic history. Canada's built heritage is celebrated through the showcasing of artisanal and industrial skills.

The flexible wood shell rests on a en "A" perch of cast aluminum. This architecture allows the creation of overhangs and elongated proportions, while en minimizing the number of legs.
