The Hydra Banca, a masterpiece designed by Àngels Colom, offers a unique balance between minimalism and versatility. Its timeless design makes it an excellent choice for diverse urban and natural environments. Whether in city parks, promenades, or squares, the Hydra Banca enhances spaces with both visual appeal and practical functionality.
The Hydra Banca is crafted from reinforced concrete, strengthened with stainless steel, and finished with an etched, water-repellent coating. This ensures exceptional durability, making the bench resistant to daily intensive use and extreme weather conditions. The available colors from the Escofet catalog—such as gray, black, white, and beige—allow seamless integration into any urban or natural setting.
The modular structure of the Hydra Banca offers limitless possibilities for linear arrangements. By combining multiple 2-meter modules, architects and urban planners can create continuous seating areas or subtle boundaries. When paired with the Hydra Bike variant, a smart solution emerges that integrates bicycle parking and seating. The Hydra Bike, equipped with slots for bike wheels and built-in stainless steel eye bolts, adds a functional dimension that perfectly complements the Hydra Banca's style and versatility. This harmony between seating comfort and practical bike parking highlights the innovative nature of the series.
The Hydra Banca fosters social interaction while providing a resting point for visitors in public spaces. Its sleek, neutral design blends seamlessly into both urban and natural landscapes, creating an inviting environment that contributes to community building. By combining comfort, durability, and aesthetics, the Hydra Banca is a valuable addition to any public space.
Cast concrete with natural stone aggregates - finish : acid-etched and waterproofed
3 stud bolts M16 x 140 mm
The installation of the Hydra Banca requires a solid foundation to ensure stability and durability. Each module is anchored with three M16 x 140 mm stud bolts, secured with epoxy resin in pre-drilled holes with a diameter of 40 mm. Once installed, the feet of the bench are sealed all around with caulk or mortar to prevent movement and fully stabilize the structure. This method ensures a long-lasting and safe installation, even in heavily frequented public spaces such as city centers, parks, and promenades.
