Description
The Poet Bench has a perforated steel seat and backrest, supported by tubular steel legs, which gives it an airy appearance while ensuring durability and breathability, preventing water build-up when used outdoors. The surface is treated with cataphoresis for corrosion resistance and is available in finishes like bronze or silver-gray, adding to its modern look. Its unique design allows for back-to-back placement, creating a dual-sided seating option ideal for parks, airports, or shopping areas.

Brand
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.
