# Dual-Seated Plate Aluminum Benches Garza Studio Presents the Move a Little Bit Further Bench By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/move-a-little-bit-further References: [garzastudio](https://garzastudio.com/)  Mexican design firm Garza Studio has created the special Move a Little Bit Further project, which is a [solid aluminum bench design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldseat) finished with two [seating plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leftover-bench). These plates move on top of a plane balanced on steel bearing balls that are a part of the NYC Collectible design pair. The bench allows [two people to sit on top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-bench1) and move closer and further from one another as the seat is made to glide over the bearing balls. He shares with Dezeen, "With this piece, I was trying to put out my feelings after a breakup. At that moment, I explored the idea that nothing is static and we are constantly moving. I wanted to see if I could use furniture design as a medium to express my feelings more similarly than in art. The result is a bench on which a couple can adjust the distance between themselves by sliding their seats over bearing balls, giving a physical representation of the proximity fluctuations we experience during different phases of relationships."
