Amparo is shelter, safeguard, protection, support.
This bench made from ash tree and an aluminium structure is light, whose principal quality is hugging the user as well as the hug between the backrest and the seat. From the beginning it was thought that materials and textures were going to play the leading role, taking the most important part in the user experience.
From de conceptualization process, the idea was that the bench would transmit a sense of shelter, a personal space where the user could feel comfortable reading a book or drinking a coffee. Alone or with someone.
Its simple design it is not unnoticed, like the side tables under the seat which offers new utilities like holding a book or small products. This bench is perfect to be located in cafes, rest areas in offices or places where the user could feel comfortable and relaxed.
