"Turn heads with benches that are as bold as they are beautiful. The Acero benches are a true conversation starter—with flowing form adding instant sophistication to any setting. Whether you're designing a cutting-edge office, a serene public park, or a modern home, Acero delivers a strong visual impact. It’s not just furniture—it’s a statement of style, innovation, and forward-thinking design."
The name "Acero", which is the Spanish word for steel, perfectly reflects the product identity and its truth to the properties of the stainless steel it would be made of. Acero benches are available in multiple configurations to suit a variety of spatial needs. Their wave-like structure inspired by molten metal, are designed to provide both comfort and support, while the use of stainless steel would ensure they perform equally well indoors and outdoors. These benches are ideal for architects, designers, and planners seeking a durable yet artistic seating solution that enhances both form and function.
The designs were made during an internship period at Marks Barfield's Architects in London.
These benches were created through visual programming in Grasshopper which was transformed into product renderings in Rhinoceros 3D. Using this method I was able to generate multiple different versions of the Acero bench by adjusting values in the programming, such as the position of bench endpoints or the depth of the seat. Thus, I was able to experiment efficiently with models and determine the most suitable forms without having to start a new model. Once the Grasshopper programming had been adjusted, the 3D model in Rhino could be rendered to create a visual image of the product.
