Gather and Tiers are outdoor furniture collections with ESCOFET, a Barcelona-based company that works with urban elements and architectural concrete to transform cities and promote the use of public space. The collection’s durable elements are made from ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) for a sleek and thin profile.
Rooted in the idea of creating more private and relaxed outdoor areas, Gather is a modular seating system that can take many forms. A range of linear, concave, convex, and end modules are combined to create different configurations, including enclosed pocket spaces, straight benches, or seating around green islands.
A branch-like spine forms the backrest, gradually tapering to a thickness of just 40 millimetres. Gather is available in four different concrete colours – grey, black, white and beige – with a bespoke aluminium armrest.
The Tiers family is made up of a bench (45 centimetres), table or perch (74 centimetres), high table (105 centimetres) and low stool. These elements can be used individually or arranged alongside one another to create different configurations for socialising, relaxing, or working.
