Godot

Sitting under the tree’s shadow. The Godot benches serve as a seat and a tree guard for existing and newly-planted trees.

The Godot bench was designed based on the idea of creating an urban furniture element that would reflect the uniting of two halves beneath the shade of a tree, as occurs with the characters Vladimir and Estragon in the play “Waiting for Godot” by the Irish author Samuel Beckett. In the play, Beckett makes only a brief reference to the scene: a country lane and a tree.

The collection includes modules with different lengths. A single one of 95 cm, a double one of 155 cm and a triple one of 215 cm. They can all be combined with each other to form up to six different aggregations, leaving a circular space in the centre for an existing or a newly-planted tree.

Manufactured in molded concrete, with an etched and waterproof finish and standard Escofet color chart. Supported on pavement and optionally anchored with two threaded screws in sleeves embedded in its base. The modules are arranged in pairs joined by two metal plates screwed to metal sleeves recessed inside the opening.
