Bench No. 12 is a linear statement piece that expands the poetic language of Jorge Herrera's collection. This bench reinterprets the welcoming aesthetic of wicker through a rigorous mesh of wire rods, creating a surface that appears woven by the wind. Its elongated and slender form invites pause and contemplation, functioning both as a supportive seat in a garden and as a sculptural piece in a hallway or entryway. The sophistication of Bench No. 12 lies in the contrast between the robustness of the aluminum and the visual delicacy of its metallic weave. Designed to withstand the passage of time and the elements, the bench projects fascinating geometric shadows, transforming sunlight into a dynamic decorative element. It is a piece that balances the nostalgia of classic outdoor furniture with the purity of modern industrial design, offering a versatile seating solution that defines the space with an ethereal elegance.

Bench No. 12 uses precision engineering to create a long seat without the need for intrusive central supports, preserving the collection's characteristic transparency. The wire rod system is hand-welded onto the tubular profiles, ensuring a stable and ergonomic seating surface.
Main Structure: Manufactured from extruded tubular aluminum, chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and complete immunity to corrosion.
Seat Surface: Dense mesh of galvanized steel wire rods (or high-strength aluminum), with pickling and passivation treatment before painting to ensure maximum adhesion.
"Slim Fit" upholstery: Thin upholstered elements made with high-density, open-cell polyurethane foam that dries quickly after exposure to moisture.
Fabric: Panama White 3739. Outdoor performance fabric with high abrasion resistance and UV colorfastness. The cushions are designed to be discreetly attached to the metal frame.
The frame has an electrostatic powder coating finish with a rough texture for a more natural feel.
Maintenance: 100% recyclable materials resistant to neutral cleaning products, ideal for easy maintenance in gardens or common areas.
