Specifications:
Offered in a single size and in two different shapes, these benches are built using a stainless steel sheet with a thickness of 1,5 mm and a circular sandblasted finish. Obtained with special technology involving milling, bending and welding, they appear as sculpted monoliths with a contrasting interplay between soft, curved forms that are concave and projecting, and areas with a more squared-off look. The benches convey a feeling of massive solidity and, at the same time, have a refined minimalist look.
