Clean Lines, Seamless Integration
At the Newell Brands Headquarters (formerly Rubbermaid), Wells delivered a series of cantilevered concrete benches designed to balance visual clarity, durability, and everyday usability in a high-traffic outdoor setting. The benches were fabricated using DEX, supporting a refined architectural expression while meeting the demands of long-term performance.
Free of visible supports, the cantilevered design maintains clean sightlines and encourages open movement throughout the site, eliminating common trip hazards and hard-to-clean conditions associated with traditional bench supports. Wells coordinated fabrication and detailing to achieve a sleek, unobstructed profile while ensuring comfort, structural integrity, and ease of maintenance. Cast in high-performance concrete and finished in a custom DEXterity color, the benches provide a durable, low-maintenance seating solution aligned with both architectural intent and operational needs. Recessed ground lighting reinforces the sculptural form after dark — enhancing safety while highlighting the minimalist design language of the site.
This installation demonstrates how Wells integrates precision fabrication, thoughtful detailing, and urban furnishings expertise to deliver site elements that perform as well as they present, seamlessly supporting high-design commercial environments.
