PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Cadu bench was made in porcelain in a handmade way. Each form is made individually and later joined to the others with the use of mortar and special glues. The bench is hollow internally, having only amounts for internal support. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 1650mm x Depth 450mm x Height 420mm TAGS: Bench, seat, modern, dynamic, urban. RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Firstly, the research carried out was in relation to the material to be used. After deciding that porcelain tile would be used, the next step would be how the shapes that make up the object would be fitted, the choice of mortar and special glues for the pieces to get joined. CHALLENGE: The main obstacle found in the process was the way of sustaining these volumes. It was necessary to use internal uprights, made with the porcelain tile itself, and the fittings of these uprights should be located precisely at the points of greatest pressure.
