Solution
In order to achieve this the company developed and produced one of the most complicated foundry operations it had used to date. The aluminium cast legs had a detailed recessed pattern on some of the faces which added to the intricacy. This called for complex moulds and careful casting processes.
There were two elements to this project:
a long, curved, wall-mounted bench
several standalone benches and seats (with back and armrests)
The geometric design of the bench and seat tops, in FSC® Cumaru, complemented the aesthetics of the bases and enabled the seating to be combined in varying configurations.
