Flor Grande – Sculptural Concrete Seating for Public Spaces
The Flor Grande is a striking and modular seating element made of high-quality reinforced concrete. With generous dimensions of 270 x 243 cm and a height of 42 cm, this bench provides ample and comfortable seating for public spaces, parks, and plazas. Its organic, flower-like design makes it both functional and visually appealing, serving as a sculptural landmark in urban landscapes.
Weather-Resistant and Maintenance-Free Concrete
The Flor Grande is constructed from reinforced concrete with a water-repellent, etched finish, ensuring long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance. Designed to withstand intensive use and extreme weather conditions, this seating element is available in various standard colors, including grey, white, black, red, and beige, making it suitable for different urban settings.
Flexible Configurations and Modular Integration
With its unique radial shape, the Flor Grande can be installed as a standalone element or combined with the smaller Flor Pequeña. This modular flexibility allows for the creation of dynamic seating arrangements that promote social interaction and enhance the flow of public spaces.
Freestanding Installation Without Anchoring
The Flor Grande is designed to be freestanding, requiring no anchoring to the ground. With a weight of 1745 kg, it remains securely in place even in high-traffic urban areas, making it an ideal choice for adaptable city layouts and temporary installations.

Direct Placement Without Foundation
The Flor Grande can be placed directly on hard surfaces such as pavement, concrete, or natural stone. Thanks to its self-stabilizing design, no foundation or anchoring is required, making installation straightforward and efficient.
Safe Lifting and Positioning with Polyester Slings
Due to its substantial weight of 1745 kg, it is recommended to lift and position the Flor Grande using a crane and polyester slings. This ensures safe and controlled placement. The bench can be strategically arranged to create cohesive and functional seating areas.
Maintenance-Free and Built for Heavy Use
The Flor Grande requires no structural maintenance. Its hydrophobic finish prevents moisture absorption and makes cleaning easy. Occasional washing with water and a pH-neutral cleaner is sufficient to maintain its original appearance.
