Shield
The anti-Covid-19 concept collection of benches
Shield is a protective device for social distance and for living public space in safety.
Covid 19 has changed the life of all of us and also the urban dynamics; it is no longer possible to move freely and live our squares, streets and parks which are now limited spaces and prohibited due to blocking restrictions.
The benches are an indispensable urban furniture element in the architectural panorama of the public space which in recent weeks and all over the world have been prohibited with prohibitions and limitations and what was done first on a bench: sitting, relaxing and sharing experiences, today is forbidden.
