This bench has been manufactured by “Sineu Graff”, a local Company specializing in urban furniture.
Inspired by mediterranean culture strongly rooted in Spain, and by mobility which is a deep principle of Europe, this bench offers to the user a relaxing space where he can arrange the seating according to its desire to sit alone, lying down or being in group.
