Nu
1991
Award ADI FAD SELECTION
1991Urban design in its best expression. As a resting or meeting place, the Nu urban bench provides a great facilitating platform. An extensive seat formed by wooden slats, elevated on a robust, galvanized steel structure, with or without backrest, with or without arms.
A bench with a classic design
A classic of new urbanism, solid and bare, the Nu bench allows for different compositions, in a line or by itself, organizing the urban space in a very civic manner. Carefully proportioned to maintain an equidistant separation between the supports on the pavement when in a line.
