WHALE TAIL BENCH

Urban elements contribute to giving cities a human scale, identity and collective meaning.

The design of urban furniture must comply with three interrelated concepts: functionality, simplicity and emotionality, as well as being useful, durable and designed for the people.

The design idea for the WHALE TAIL Bench starts from the maritime context, a place for which it has been designed, using technology and materials typical of nautical engineering.

Inspired by marine life, it is capable of awakening emotions in urban and natural environments.

A bench of elegant simplicity with organic shapes that not only fulfils the function of a seat but also provides an aesthetic value when it is placed in the urban space: seafronts, ports, squares, streets and boulevards.

The purity of the lines and the roundness between planes of the WHALE TAIL Bench, reinforces the brightness and textures typical of fiberglass and concrete.

When the bench is not occupied, its soft undulating shapes make it a sculptural element.

Its minimalist modern and functional design has been reduced to the minimum expression: a single support.

Available in two finishes:

– Painted fiberglass with a thickness of between 8 and 10 mm. Interior reinforced with high

density compact laminated wood frame. Available colours are gloss white, fluorescent green,

light blue and anthracite grey.

– Made in concrete, reinforced with fibers of very high performance and great plasticity,

which gives it a great rigidity. Available colours are white and grey

The materials used in the WHALE TAIL Bench are committed to sustainability and the development of pioneering technologies (fiberglass, fiber-reinforced concrete or mechanical recycling of plastic R-PET). Environmentally friendly materials with a real component of sustainability, circularity and safety.

The WHALE TAIL Bench has taken into account its environmental impact during all the stages of its existence: extraction of raw materials, production, distribution, use, reuse, recycling and waste management.

The WHALE TAIL Bench has been recognized with several Awards and has been exhibited at the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Murcia (COAMU). Spain.
