Havana
J.M. Massana, J.M. TremoledaThis continuous bench for waiting and reception areas is widely used in public facilities such as hospitals, schools, stations, museums or restaurants. Its contours are the result of meticulous ergonomic design that is at once comfortable and kind to the user.

The comfortable wait
Havana is a bench for reception spaces; the ergonomic design features a classic undulating shape and continuous lines from the backrest to the seat. It pays tribute to the creations of Antoni Gaudí and Gunnar Asplund, amongst others. Havana offers respite and provides comfort to the user, through the unavoidable necessity of waiting. This robust and practical indoor bench was one of the greatest successes of the Barcelona-based company, Mobles 114.
Santa & Cole’s edition respects the dimensions in a darker metal structure, using different wood materials for the backrest and seat. An optional, auxiliary table that incorporates style and function is available.
“Simply sit down for a while, feel the shape of the backrest, the touch and the colour of the wood; it is an invitation to rest. Similar to public benches, but created for indoor spaces, it accommodates more intimate conversations. The bench of a church, a waiting room, a train station; standing below a few windows overlooking a boardwalk, lined with other benches made of stone, eroded by the sea waves”
Sergi Pàmies, Barcelona 1990
