The Serpentine Bench

The last important element of the park to be built, the bench-look-out point of the large square combines a studied functional versatility with an artistic creativity that converts into an avant-garde work of art.
In order to construct the bench, Gaudí designed one curved stretch of seat and two back supports one for the concave position and another for the convex.The modules were prefabricated with brick and were later put into place.

A most interesting bench! Looks like it provides good lumbar support on the convex side!
