Nominee | Furniture Design | 2005
Los Bancos Suizos, Bd Ediciones de Diseño, Spanien Bänke für den öffentlichen Raum
Los Bancos Suizos is a comprehensive series of benches consisting of five models. Made of steel tubing and perforated sheet metal, galvanised and painted in coppery tones, they can be set up in public spaces anywhere – in parks, at airports and stations, or on urban promenades. Besides their basic function of providing a place to sit, they offer an astonishing range of alternative or additional possibilities of use.
Comments of the nominators
The design is based on a careful analysis of contemporary use requirements in connection with fixtures in public spaces. The results of this analysis have here been realised in design terms in a most convincing way.
