Pablo Reinoso and his Benches


Outdoor benches are the last bastion of modern art.....and Pablo Reinoso, an Argentinian born in Paris (doesn't that make him French?), has tackled benches with his signature use and manipulation of bentwood (a la the Thonet bentwood chair).

Reinoso combines utilitarian need with experimental forms in a delightful and memorable way! His benches inject a surreal quality into the landscape. I would love to plant a dutchmen's pipe vine to twine around his artful benches.

You can see these photos at the website of Carpenters Workshop Gallery



Reinoso’s quirky exploration of the relationship between a static bench and its environs was inspired by the rolling English landscape and twisting tangled vines...,.




This is the 'Huge Sudeley Bench'  by Reinoso.

I can imagine a whole park of these interconnected benches - it would be the greatest playground ever built!

Pablo - are you interested?  Your benches are just the beginning.....Call up Jupiter Artland and suggest this idea to them...call it - Cosmic Playground.
