Urban elements contribute to giving cities a human scale, identity, and collective meaning. The design idea for the Manga Bench starts from the maritime context, a place for which it has been designed, using technology and materials typical of nautical engineering. Inspired by marine life it is capable of awakening emotions in urban and natural environments. The purity of the lines and the roundness between planes of the Manga Bench, reinforce the brightness and textures typical of fiberglass and concrete. When the bench is not occupied, its soft undulating shapes make it a sculptural element.
