The Swiss benches form part of a new class of products that Bd has named the Transit Furniture Concept. They can be installed as well inside or outside. Furnish a public park, an airport terminal or a shopping mall. The outline of the Catalano bench is the most comfortable possible for a public bench. Tusquets and Clotet adopted it from the one designed by Antoni Gaudí for the Park Güell in Barcelona, because they considered it to be beyond improvement. The design of the perforations in the metal sheet is another of the novelties of The Swiss benches. You could say it was a triple novelty, because Häberli has created three special shapes in steel for this project. Flowers, Stars and Points, made-to-measure variations that multiply the options offered by this series of public benches which offers also a more simple and economical version, Basic. They adopt their comfortable outline as well as all the advantages of perforated sheet metal: transparency, so that they do not dominate spaces, avoidance of water accumulating on them and even coolness in summer.
