Anti-Social Seating

The CALA Indoors Bench by Veronica Martinez Faces Two Directions

The CALA Indoors Bench is for those times or places where you just don’t feel like engaging in conversation. Designed by Veronica Martinez, it is made of one single ribbon of LG HiMACS with steel leg supports.

Perfect for airports and doctors’ offices, the CALA Indoors Bench provides space for small groups to sit together, but otherwise separates sitters with its twisted form that faces two directions.
