Vinculados: Inclusive Urban Rest
A modular bench system designed for high-traffic public spaces, offering an accessible and ergonomic resting place for workers and visitors. Developed with low-cost materials and landscape integration, it transforms commercial areas into welcoming, inclusive environments, where comfort and usability foster connection, pause, and shared urban experiences.
Input
Mall ethnography
The Plaza San Miguel shopping center was visited to observe the behavior and social interactions around the furniture.
Process
Manufacturing in workshop
After the usability tests, the wood was enabled with the corresponding measurements and welding processes were used to assemble the structure.
Output
Public furniture for resting in an open-air mall
These benches seek to be part of the experience of visiting the shopping center for children, youth and adults, providing appropriate and warm support without losing connection with the commercial urban landscape.
