STORY:
A rustic, solid bench with four integrated seats in thick carved ashwood, by sculptor and designer Julio Martínez Barnetche, a Mexican artist. There are two such benches made in 2014 to be exhibited at the Palacio de Minería in 2013 in the "MARES PETREOS" exhibition. Julio states: “This bench was specially made for listening to the music that was created alongside the Jade sculptures for the "Mares Petreos" exhibition at the Palacio de Minería. I believe it was the first project in which I used burnt wood.
