Although not many people will see the appeal of a solid, concrete piece of furniture, there is something about the Rama Bench that will surely grow on them. Overall, it sports a simple design that has some interesting branching details. Funny enough, though these added details give it a unique look, they were put there for a more practical purpose. They add support to the back and the base.
Designed by Ricardo Garza Marcos, the Rama Bench it made to be used outdoors. Not as quirky as his past designs, it still have a unique aesthetic about it. Put a couple of cushions on it and it will be quite the comfy lounger in the backyard. And I'm pretty sure no one else would have a concrete furniture piece in their yard.
