Sorra

A solar-powered smart bench bringing energy independence and integrated connectivity to public space. Photovoltaic panels, three USB ports, ambient LED lighting, and optional Wi-Fi and wireless charging are housed in a robust steel-and-Iroko frame — delivering smart-city functionality with zero running costs.

Designed by Kinley, Made in the UK

Configure domino bench

A fully off-grid smart bench — adds charging, lighting, and connectivity to public space without grid connection or trenching.

Sorra integrates technology into a strong contemporary silhouette: a long Iroko-slatted seat flanked by sculptural steel end-blocks housing the battery, electronics, and photovoltaic panels under toughened double-layer glass. Reads as considered street furniture first, technology platform second.

2790mm x 780mm x 450mm; 180–193kg. 100W PV panel and 36Ah gel battery (or LiFePO4 40Ah) power three USB ports and 4.8W LED lighting. Carbon or stainless steel structure with FSC-certified Iroko slats. Operates from −20°C to +60°C. Optional Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth audio, and wireless charging modules.

Variants

Sorra Half Solar Strip

Sorra Half Solar Strip uses a shorter photovoltaic panel, leaving more of the bench surface as exposed Iroko hardwood. The result is a visually warmer bench where the timber reads more prominently — suitable for sites where the bench’s aesthetic priority sits above maximum solar generation.

2790mm x 450mm x 785mm. Half-length solar panel. 2A 10W LiFePO4 40Ah battery. 4.8W neutral white LED lighting. Carbon or stainless steel finish options. FSC-certified Iroko. Item codes SB02HBN450T030L2780S (carbon) and SB01HBN450T030L2780S (stainless).

  • Half-length solar panel — more visible Iroko surface
  • Warmer visual presence than the full-strip variant
  • Same charging, lighting, and connectivity functions
  • Carbon or stainless steel structure options
  • Dimensions 2790mm x 450mm x 785mm
  • 2A 10W LiFePO4 40Ah battery; 4.8W LED lighting
  • FSC-certified Iroko; ISO 9001:2015 and BS EN 9001 certified
  • Surface-fixed via expansion bolts through pre-drilled base plates

Sorra Full Solar Strip

Sorra Full Solar Strip runs the photovoltaic panel along the entire visible top surface of the bench. The result is greater solar harvesting capacity than the half-strip variant, suiting sites with higher charging demand, frequent use, or partial shade where total panel area becomes critical.

2780mm x 450mm x 690mm. Full-length solar panel under toughened double-layer glass. 2A 10W LiFePO4 40Ah battery. 4.8W neutral white LED lighting. Carbon or stainless steel finish options. FSC-certified Iroko. Item codes SB02FBN450T030L2780S (carbon) and SB01FBN450T030L2780S (stainless).

  • Full-length solar panel maximises generation capacity
  • Same Iroko hardwood seating as the half-strip variant
  • Carbon or stainless steel structure options
  • Neutral white ambient LED lighting integrated
  • Dimensions 2780mm x 450mm x 690mm
  • 2A 10W LiFePO4 40Ah battery; 4.8W LED lighting
  • FSC-certified Iroko; ISO 9001:2015 and BS EN 9001 certified
  • Surface-fixed via expansion bolts through pre-drilled base plates
