ABOUT US
Red Bench Studio Ltd. is a British design studio focused on the development of contemporary products, infrastructure, and architectural systems for evolving urban and environmental conditions.
Founded upon more than 21 years of architectural experience through Perioli Man Architects, the studio brings together architectural thinking, fabrication-led design, and commercial product development to create projects that operate between infrastructure, product design, and the public realm.
The practice’s architectural background has included work across residential, development, heritage, education, and urban projects, with a consistent emphasis on clarity of form, material durability, and contextual response. Red Bench Studio extends this experience into scalable physical products and systems designed for long-term social, environmental, and commercial relevance.
Current work includes The Seventy Frame - a next-generation bicycle shelter and mobility infrastructure platform developed through full-scale prototyping and ongoing manufacturing research. The project reflects the studio’s wider interest in how design can improve sustainability, active travel, urban experience, and the visual quality of everyday infrastructure.
Red Bench Studio Ltd. is actively developing partnerships relating to manufacturing, technology integration, investment, and future infrastructure deployment within the UK and internationally.
OUR CURRENT PROJECT
THE SEVENTY FRAME
The Seventy Frame is a next-generation bicycle shelter and mobility infrastructure system developed by Red Bench Studio Ltd. to respond to the rapidly growing demand for secure, sustainable, and visually integrated cycling infrastructure across the UK and international markets.
The Seventy Frame 4 Bay prototype in situ (domestic site)
Positioned between architecture, product design, and clean technology, The Seventy Frame combines bicycle security, shelter, and environmental infrastructure within a single distinctive structural form inspired by the geometry of the number seven. The system has been conceived not simply as street furniture, but as scalable urban infrastructure capable of supporting evolving patterns of low-carbon mobility, e-bike adoption, and smart public realm investment.

Developed through full-scale prototyping and fabrication-led design research, the project has been engineered as a modular platform adaptable to a wide range of commercial, public sector, residential, education, healthcare, transport, and domestic applications. Ongoing refinement of the system includes the development of configurations with increased front head clearance to improve accessibility, user comfort, and compatibility with contemporary public realm and cycle infrastructure standards, while retaining the project’s distinctive architectural identity.
Interchangeable roof systems can incorporate photovoltaic panels, sedum roofs, or alternative sustainable materials depending on environmental and operational requirements, while future integrated systems include e-bike charging, lighting, monitoring technology, and maintenance facilities.
The Seventy Frame has been developed with manufacturability, scalability, and long-term durability at its core. Its clear structural logic and modular component system support efficient fabrication, transportation, installation, and future product evolution, enabling opportunities for manufacturing partnerships, infrastructure deployment, and wider integration within emerging smart-city and active-travel networks. All products are also being developed as fully BIM - compatible systems to support specification, design integration, and adoption by architects, landscape architects, developers, and infrastructure professionals.
As governments, developers, universities, transport providers, and private organisations increasingly invest in active travel and sustainable infrastructure, The Seventy Frame aims to establish a recognisable new benchmark for premium cycling infrastructure — combining functional performance with strong architectural identity.
Red Bench Studio Ltd. is currently seeking strategic partnerships relating to manufacturing, technology integration, investment, and commercial deployment.

FURTHER PROJECTS
THE SHADE FRAME
Developed by Red Bench Studio Ltd., this pergola system was inspired by the need for more human-scale garden structures defined by simple architectural forms, restrained detailing, and clarity of construction.
The lightweight steel structure is designed to frame outdoor space without overwhelming it — combining clean lines, integrated screening (by others) mounted on our proprietary brackets, and planting support of the Siberian Larch rafters to create a calm and adaptable garden environment. Ease of installation, durability, and modular construction were central to the design, allowing straightforward fabrication and assembly across a range of settings.
The project reflects Red Bench Studio Ltd.’s wider interest in creating contemporary architectural products that sit between furniture, landscape, and small-scale infrastructure — combining functional performance with refined architectural character.
