About the Item
Introducing the Metal Bench Version “Perforano” by Oscar Tusquets for BD Barcelona, circa 1980, a distinctive piece that seamlessly merges form and function. Crafted entirely in metal, this bench is not confined to interior spaces alone; its robust construction allows for versatile use in both interior and exterior settings.
In its original condition, the bench exhibits minor wear consistent with its age and use, carefully preserving a beautiful patina that adds character to its aesthetic. Notably, traces of rust, as shown in the accompanying photos, contribute to the bench's unique narrative, reflecting the passage of time and enhancing its visual appeal.
The Perforano bench represents an evolution from the Catalano, a masterpiece of Spanish design that has stood the test of time. The significant transformation lies in the replacement of the 'deployé' with perforated sheet steel. This alteration not only enhances the bench's resistance to corrosion and vandalism but also introduces a less aggressive texture to the seat.
Oscar Tusquets' thoughtful modification in material extends to the structure and length of the module, resulting in a fresh aesthetic perspective. The bench's ergonomic shape, inspired by Antoni Gaudí's design for Güell Park, remains a well-known virtue. This evolution, marked by its resilience and adaptability, solidifies the Perforano bench as an enduring and commercially viable piece in the realm of Spanish design.
