Specializing in the design and production of contemporary street furniture, CITYSì is an Italian company that develops solutions for public space that are functional, inclusive and capable of generating urban quality. Benches, seats, litter garbage cans, bollards, planters, racks, shelters, roofs and lighting systems make up the articulated system of products with which CITYSì interprets the urban landscape as a complex and constantly changing scenario. Underlying the company's philosophy is the concept of the “Positive City”: a space built and lived in a conscious way, in which the interaction between man and the environment translates into new forms of urban habitability. Every CITYSì product is created to respond in a timely manner to these dynamics, transforming the “ordinary” dimension of urban space into an extraordinary, recognizable and shared landscape. Design, production and quality control take place entirely in Italy, within an integrated industrial process that enhances the quality of detail and craftsmanship.
CITYSì, street furniture for a city on a human scale
Each CITYSì collection stems from careful research work carried out within the CITYSì FABLAB, the in-house laboratory dedicated to design experimentation and prototyping. Among the CITYSì collections, Pivot is a complete line of furniture elements with an essential and recognizable language, ideal for modern urban contexts and high-traffic public spaces. Characterized by slender structures, pure geometries and precisely crafted metal details, Pivot best expresses the combination of form, function and technology that distinguishes the company's design approach. Alongside the Pivot Collection, the CITYSì range includes collections differentiated by style and intended use, offering consistent solutions for parks, plazas, residential areas, schools, rest areas and soft mobility spaces. The aesthetic uniformity and modularity of the products ensure a high degree of design flexibility, making street furniture not only a functional element, but an integral part of the quality of the built landscape.
CITYSì smart products: integrated technology and advanced design
As part of its research into an increasingly connected, accessible and sustainable city, CITYSì has developed a range of smart products designed to enrich public space with digital functions and renewable technologies. Among the most representative solutions is Oasi Digitale, a photovoltaic smart gazebo for public spaces that integrates canopy, LED lighting, Wi-Fi and USB outlets. Thanks to its roof equipped with solar panels, Oasi Digitale offers a multifunctional, energy self-sufficient resting point perfect for urban areas, school spaces, parks and gathering places. The Elios bench, made of painted steel with an anti-scratch finish, combines essential design with technological performance: integrated lighting, wireless charging, USB sockets and power through photovoltaic panels. Without a backrest, it is designed to encourage dynamic and flexible use, even in waiting or transit spaces, with a compact, weather-resistant structure. Completing the range is the Pivot bike rack, equipped with a photovoltaic panel, charging pad and Wi-Fi connection. Designed as an infrastructure for urban micromobility, this element integrates rack, protection and digital technologies into a single device, becoming a service point for bicycles, scooters and light electric devices. With these solutions, CITYSì interprets urban space not only as a place to be traversed, but as an active environment capable of providing smart and sustainable services, improving the daily experience of citizens and responding to the needs of contemporary smart cities.
The use of aluminum in CITYSì products
In addition to steel, CITYSì uses aluminum for the production of its street furniture elements, thanks to its high technical performance and proven environmental sustainability. Corrosion-resistant, lightweight, durable, and fully recyclable without loss of quality, aluminum is rightfully called a “green material.” Suffice it to say that nearly 75 percent of the aluminum produced in the past is still in use: its ability to be remelted an infinite number of times with a reduced energy impact-equivalent to only 5 percent of the energy required for primary production-allows for significant savings in CO₂ emissions, estimated at about 80 million tons per year globally. These characteristics, combined with CITYSì's long experience in metal alloy processing, make aluminum a strategic choice for offering low-maintenance, lightweight and durable products that are ideal for contemporary public space. In addition, the company offers a wood-effect finish obtained through a specific industrial process, capable of reproducing the grain of natural wood on aluminum. This aesthetic solution is a viable alternative in applications where the visual warmth of wood is desired, without sacrificing the practicality of aluminum. Products such as the Elodie and Audrey benches, Elodie and Strip litter bins, made with an all-aluminum structure and also available in a wood-effect version, exemplarily express this vision: combining form, function and sustainability to improve the quality of the urban environment in a concrete and responsible way.
