What is Maglin Site Furniture?
Updated
Maglin Site Furniture is a manufacturer of fully customizable outdoor site furniture for public spaces, serving the professionals who design and furnish them—landscape architects, urban planners, campus and parks planners, and developers. Its catalog spans benches, bollards, bike racks, waste and recycling receptacles, planters, tables and seating, sun shades, panels, children's furniture, and accessories, with custom solutions available. The company positions its products as environmentally sustainable and built to last, and it publishes project installations as reference points for specifiers.
What Maglin makes
The product range covers the core categories needed to furnish a plaza, campus, park, streetscape, or multi-family outdoor area:
- Seating: benches (including modular benches), tables and seating, children's furniture
- Site elements: bollards, bike racks, panels, sun shades
- Planting and waste: planters (including modular planters), waste and recycling receptacles
- Accessories and custom work: accessories plus a dedicated custom solutions offering
The emphasis on "adaptable solutions" and configuration means the catalog is intended to be assembled into a coordinated site rather than bought as isolated pieces.
Who it's for
Maglin describes its clients as professionals who create inspired public spaces and who need adaptable solutions for today's spaces. In practice, that means:
- Landscape architects and urban designers specifying streetscape or plaza furniture
- Campus, parks, and municipal planners furnishing public areas
- Developers and property teams outfitting residential or mixed-use outdoor amenities
- Institutions such as hospitals, science centres, and universities
If you are furnishing a private backyard or buying a single bench for personal use, this is not the intended audience; the product set and customization model are geared to project-scale specification.
Sustainability and durability claims
Maglin states its products are "made to be environmentally sustainable" and "built to last." A concrete, checkable detail on the site: the company says it is developing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to improve transparency, as part of assessing the climate footprint of its products and manufacturing processes. For specifiers who need environmental documentation, EPDs are the relevant artifact to ask about—but note the site frames this as an ongoing commitment, so confirm which specific products have published EPDs before relying on them in a submission.
Using the project gallery to evaluate fit
The site's installations and inspiration section lists named projects across Canada and the United States, which is the most practical way to judge whether Maglin's aesthetic and product combinations suit your project. Examples from the listing include:
| Project | Location |
|---|---|
| Stantec Tower | Edmonton, AB |
| University of Guelph (Massey Hall) | Guelph, ON |
| Alina | Coquitlam, BC |
| Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino | Murphy, NC |
| Ogden at Knox Condominiums | San Francisco, CA |
| 5th Avenue Association | New York, NY |
| Telus World of Science | Edmonton, AB |
| Bathurst Quay | Toronto, ON |
The gallery also tags product types against projects—for example, CANOE Modular Planters, Pixel Planters and Seating, and modular benches—so you can trace a product family to real installations before requesting samples or specs.
How to decide whether to engage
Use these conditions to judge fit:
- Choose Maglin to explore if you need a coordinated, customizable furniture package for a public or shared outdoor space, and you want to reference comparable built projects in North America.
- Ask for documentation first if your project requires environmental product declarations or specific sustainability credentials; confirm which products have EPDs rather than assuming coverage across the catalog.
- Request the customization conversation early if your site has non-standard dimensions or a design language to match—custom solutions are an explicit part of the offering, so the configuration discussion belongs at the start, not after product selection.
- Look elsewhere for one-off residential purchases or where you need published pricing up front; the site presents no pricing information, so cost has to come from a direct quote.
The practical next step is to shortlist product families from the catalog, cross-check them against a similar project in the gallery, and then contact Maglin with your site plan and any documentation requirements.
