Frequently Asked Questions

Parametric design describes a unique, highly geometric and fluid style of design for benches, wall facades, and other architectural fixtures. The designs for parametric benches and other furnishings are usually derived from algorithms that produce highly unique shapes in an iterative, futuristic way. Parametric design is often noted for its modern aesthetic and the nature-inspired harmony it brings to interior and exterior spaces.

The Terraform Design team specializes in the creation of parametric bench pieces, parametric wall facade pieces, parametric desk fixtures, tables, and lighting. To see our full collection, visit our collection page.

Yes - Parametric Bench and other pieces are highly custom and customizable by nature. We often complete entirely custom pieces, and all of the pieces on our site are also able to be fit to almost any unique space. We would love to talk to you about your specific project, so please contact us whenever you would like!

Baltic Birch plywood, MDF, Acrylic, and powder coated metal are a few of the primary materials we commonly use for our parametric bench pieces and other parametric designs, although a variety of other composites and substrates can be used as well.

We are absolutely capable of preparing our pieces for outdoor use. Depending on the materials used, outdoor parametric design pieces are finished and prepared differently to withstand more demanding environments, and parametric pieces prepared this way often come with recommendations for periodic re-coating or other procedures for ensuring the longevity of the piece. For more information, see our blog post about outdoor pieces.

We are able to ship to most countries, and have many pieces in beautiful locations all over the world. Smaller pieces are shipped ready for immediate use via freight shipping, while large pieces are commonly shipped disassembled, with options for self-assembly or Terraform team assembly usually available.

Smaller parametric bench and parametric lighting pieces can take 2 or 3 weeks to prepare, while larger pieces can take a few more weeks to finalize. Depending on the size of the project, timing can vary from project to project. We are always ready to collaborate with our customers and their specific needs to plan the timing appropriately.
