Twig Concret Respaldo – Modular design bench with backrest
The Twig Concret Respaldo combines modern design with optimal seating comfort thanks to its integrated backrest. Specifically designed for public spaces such as squares, parks, and campuses, this model provides a high-quality and robust seating solution. Its distinctive Y-shaped structure allows for dynamic configurations, turning the bench into a natural meeting point in urban environments.
Reinforced concrete for a durable and aesthetic finish
Made from high-quality reinforced concrete, the Twig Concret Respaldo is resistant to heavy use and various weather conditions. Its etched and waterproofed finish not only provides extra protection but also gives the bench a refined aesthetic. Available in multiple colors from Escofet’s standard color chart, this model seamlessly fits into various urban designs.
Freestanding placement without anchoring
With a weight of 1900 kg, the Twig Concret Respaldo can be placed freestanding without the need for anchors or ground fixation. This makes installation simple and flexible, without requiring major groundwork. The rounded ends also allow multiple modules to be seamlessly connected, creating unique and functional seating compositions.
Comfortable, social, and inviting
The addition of an ergonomic backrest makes the Twig Concret Respaldo even more comfortable for users who wish to sit for extended periods. This promotes social interaction and encourages gathering and relaxation in public spaces. Ideal for environments where durability, flexibility, and aesthetics come together in an elegant design.

Preparing the foundation
For proper placement of the Twig Concret Respaldo, it is essential to prepare a flat and stable surface. Although anchoring is not required, a solid foundation, such as pavement or a well-compacted gravel bed, ensures the bench remains stable and level. This enhances safety and prevents long-term settling.
Placement using a suitable hoisting system
Due to its significant weight of 1900 kg, the Twig Concret Respaldo must be carefully lifted and installed using a suitable hoisting system. It is recommended to use lifting straps adapted to the bench’s weight. Polyester slings provide a safe and controlled way to position the bench without damage. Ensure the straps are correctly placed under the bench and distribute the load evenly to guarantee a stable and damage-free installation.
Using spacers for modular setups and strap removal
When multiple Twig Concret Respaldo modules are combined, nylon spacers must be used to maintain uniform spacing and an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. These spacers prevent direct contact between the elements, reducing stress on the concrete. Additionally, spacers should be placed under the bench to create sufficient clearance for the safe removal of the lifting straps after placement. This prevents damage to both the bench and the hoisting equipment and ensures a precise finish.
Final inspection and finishing
Once installed, a final check must be performed to ensure the stability and alignment of the bench. If necessary, minor adjustments can be made to optimize its integration into the space. Since Twig Concret Respaldo is designed to be fully freestanding without anchoring, no additional fixing is required. This simplifies the installation process while maintaining flexibility. Once the bench is positioned correctly and the lifting straps have been removed, it is immediately ready for use, providing a robust and comfortable seating solution for public spaces.
