Benches from Escofet 1886, Designed by Josep Muxart

Product description

BILBAO is a reinforced cast stone bench with a natural stone colour, projecting a sense of having been hewn from a huge pyramid-shaped rock. Its organic, linear structure rests on each extremity to provide a clear space underneath for maintenance and cleaning. A longitudinal gap runs along the interface between the low backrest and the seat to drain water and litter. The BILBAO bench and the BILBAO planter are reinforced cast stone elements in the Bilbao Series, designed for Escofet in 2008 by architect Josep Muxart. The spirit of this series is based on the desire to transmit an organic aspect with a soft look to the rigid nature of the material by means of a continuous composition of curved forms and warped planes. The end results are these startling items with their contained movement, almost at the limit of their normal dimensions. This feature diminishes the impact of their unique presence by relating them to their surroundings in a friendly way.

Reinforced cast stone / Standard color chart / Finished etched and waterproofed. / Free standing / Dimensions: 180x73x70,5cm: 712 Kg.
