Spec Sheet

Description

The Bench is a sleek outdoor piece that builds on the design heritage of the Catalano bench, originally inspired by Antoni Gaudí. It replaces the original's expanded metal mesh with a perforated steel sheet, enhancing both its durability and breathability, making it ideal for outdoor use. Its modular design allows for versatile configurations, whether arranged in continuous rows or back-to-back. Featuring tubular steel legs and a chassis treated with cataphoresis for corrosion resistance, the bench is finished with microtextured polyester resin in silver-gray. The Perforano is practical for public spaces and refined enough for indoor settings.

BD Barcelona

An eclectic edge and quality manufacturing are cornerstones of BD Barcelona, a design collective founded in 1972 by a handful of young buck architects. The initial goal was to realize their own object and furniture design for their respective projects and on their own terms.

This objective continues, yet other designers have entered its stable, both young such as fellow Barcelona-native Cristian Zuzunaga and legacy heroes such as the late Italian superstar Ettore Sottsass. They have brought to market the flights of fancy of Salvador Dali, and taken on modern challenges by reusing leftover materials in a collection called Remix. The stable of celebrated creatives include Jamie Hayon, Oscar Tuesquets, Stephen Burks, Konstantin Grcic and Doshi Levien.

Beauty guided the founding nonconformists from the start, and it still does as they enter their sixth decade in business. Artisanal craftsmanship—all in Barcelona and surrounding parts–and a luxurious sensibility merge with state-of-the-art technologies and an architect’s practicality.
