Product description

MAYO is a reinforced cast stone piece with a frame section. The simplicity of this bench lies in its pure, rotund geometry. The seat, perforated in a draughtboard pattern, facilitates rainwater drainage, increases ventilation and lowers the temperature in the sun. Architects Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz designed this street furniture as a continuation of their first design for Escofet, ABRIL. Manufactured and marketed in two sizes, it has become a classic in the collection, and it is widely accepted around the world. A more recent model, MAYO CIRCULAR, was designed to facilitate combinations with the large sized bench. This collection is part of a new generation of neutral, abstract elements for widespread use which have become a basic vocabulary for the construction of a previously non-existent language. These are self-explanatory elements. They focalise, punctuate, situate and arrange space. They relate well to the land and the horizontal plane. This collection integrates well into an urban setting without imposing, in spite of its material condition which projects a desire to remain firmly in place. These are simple, rigorous designs in their formulation, but universal in their application.
