Public bench by losdíez
Public one-piece concrete bench, with contemporary lines designed to share individually.
Two concepts in the same design
Extending and sliding are the two concepts that have merged when designing the Public concrete bench, a UHPC concrete bench formed by two legs or central arms from which two side seats and one central seat are supported. These central arms facilitate use at the critical moment of taking a seat or getting up, especially for sensitive sectors of the population such as the elderly, disabled, pregnant or overweight people.
At the same time, the fact that the side seats are not limited by their outer part makes it possible to increase their width by providing a greater width with respect to the space located between the armrests.
Thinking about urban furniture is thinking about people
When any street, square, park, etc. is built or renovated, citizens adapt to what is imposed by design professionals and the institutions that carry it out. At Mago Urban, together with the Losdíez team, we have been concerned and interested in the needs and habits of people in relation to the use of public space, since it is in this place where relationships with the outside world are established, outside of work and home.
Offering a wide range of possibilities in terms of orientation and prophetic relationships, the Public bench has become the clear example that reflects inclusive design, for all.
The bench is developed by the Losdíez team and was a finalist for the ADI-FAD Delta Awards 2016 and winner of bid_16 Design for all people / Once Foundation.
The pieces of the system are anchored to the pavement.
