Seating without orientation
A cube has no front. The Sócrates Cubo® offers seating from any direction — visitors choose how and from which side they approach the element. This makes it well suited for plazas where movement patterns vary, for entrance areas where multiple arrival axes converge, and for rest points along pedestrian routes travelled in multiple directions. One element is an individual seating point in public space; three side by side form an informal bench; five in a cluster define a dwell zone.
Concrete as the final material
The Sócrates Cubo® is made of a single material: cast concrete with natural stone aggregates, polished and waterproofed. The polished finish brings out the density of the concrete — the surface reflects light subtly and gives the element an architectural presence suited to clean-lined urban contexts. The waterproofing treatment protects the concrete for long-term outdoor use without affecting the visual quality of the material.
Present by day, visible by night
The integrated LED lighting illuminates the Sócrates Cubo® LED from below. At night the cube becomes a point of light in public space — the lighting emphasises the monolithic concrete form and marks the dwell location without flooding the surroundings with light. This makes the LED version suitable for promenades, urban plazas with evening activity, and locations where social safety and liveability are supported in the evening by a visible, inviting street profile. The electrical connection must be installed before the paving is laid.
The concrete foundation of the dwell zone
Concrete calls for concrete. A public space that chooses the Sócrates Cubo® as its seating element gains the most when the remaining hardscape elements follow the same material logic: bollards, planters, waste bins, and bike stands in the concrete finish of the Escofet collection. Servibo supplies all these elements through a single point of contact and advises on the composition of the complete dwell zone in public space. Specification texts for the Sócrates Cubo® are available on request.

A compact and refined design with subtle lighting
The Sócrates 60, featuring a polished finish and integrated LED lighting, offers a unique blend of aesthetics and functionality. This compact model, ideal for intimate seating arrangements or as a complement to larger setups, exudes elegance and adds a modern touch to public spaces like squares, courtyards, and pathways.
Innovative LED technology for enhanced ambiance
The built-in LED system operates at a safe voltage of 24V, delivering bright white light (6000K) that creates an inviting atmosphere while promoting safety. The polished concrete finish subtly reflects the light, giving the bench a luxurious appearance. With an IP67 rating, the LED lighting is weather-resistant and suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Flexible use and versatile arrangements
The Sócrates 60 can be used as a standalone piece or combined with larger models such as the Sócrates 240 or 360. This allows for the creation of seating setups that are both visually appealing and functional. The integrated LED lighting enhances usability, particularly in spaces where illumination is essential.
Durability meets low maintenance
Made from high-quality polished concrete, the Sócrates 60 offers a durable and robust design that requires minimal maintenance effort. The efficient LED driver (30W to 75W) ensures low energy consumption and reliable performance, making this model ideal for both urban and recreational applications.
