Modular Aluminum Benches

Gandia Blasco Designed the GB Modular Bench with Enforced Durability

— March 16, 2022 — Art & Design
The GB Modular Bench was created by Gandia Blasco's artistic director Jose A. Gandia-Blasco Canales. The bench is designed to bring a minimal and industrial aesthetic to any environment. Consumers can place the bench indoors or outdoors for a stylistic touch.

The bench is made from durable and resistant aluminum, making it ideal for all environmental conditions. It was created through a sophisticated construction system that uses simple modular aluminum pieces. The modular pieces are then cut and machined to the desired measurements before they are assembled by hand by expert manufacturers. The bench's joints are hidden to create a clean-cut design and maximize its simplistic design. Consumers can purchase the bench in silver, dark gold, burgundy, and black.
