NautiqueModular beach lounging system
The Nautique modular beach lounging system was developed to address the
issues of graffiti, aesthetics, accessibility and longevity in beach proximity street
furniture. Many of the current street furniture installations in beach locations are
the same as non-marine areas; as a result, coastal conditions cause detrimental
damage to public infrastructure.
Nautique’s particular materials selection minimises the maintenance required. The
top slatted structure is cut from sheets of coloured high density polyethylene
(HDPE) - a material that has a large strength to density ratio, can withstand veryhigh temperatures, has incredible moisture, impact, chemical and abrasion
resistance and can be fusion welded. The legs, flanges and support frames are
made of anodised aluminium, which allows them to achieve corrosion resistance.
The combination of HDPE and anodised aluminium minimises the maintenance
required over the course of its life.

Site Visits
A number of sites were visited toresearch the need for a redesign or theaddition to the outdoor furniture space.
The Greenway in Leichhardt is a popularcommunity area, housing a cafe and ano -leash dog park. It has plenty of furniture and lighting, but noneparticularly suited to its use.
Coogee Beach, although incrediblypopular with locals and visitors, has no

Issues
The issues I set myself to address were
those of grati, aesthetics, accessibilityand longevity in street furniture.
As seen above, grati can be quite adeterrent to many demographics thatmight be looking to use the area. Theprevalence of grati can be alleviatedthrough the use of specic materials andensuring the space is in use quite often.

Inspiration
In developing the nal form, examples of furniture that combine a table/chair wereresearched and their installation andoperation methods scrutinised.
While beach furniture options were also

more convoluted than is optimal withinthe street furniture realm. Thus, the nalform had the option for shade, but notone that is standard within the product.Additionally, the extra relaxation thatbeach furniture provides was also

This diagram is an example of theyield Nautique can achieve from a
3000x1500x30mm sheet of HDPE.Between 2.5 and 3 modules can beclaimed, if colour is kept consistent.
With varying colour and thicknesses,potentially more, due to uniform
machining processes.
