Jules et Jim

Their design allows flexible placement in public spaces, either as standalone features or in harmonious coexistence, complementing each other without conflict. Jules exudes openness and passion, while Jim is more structured and rational. Both planter-benches, with a 2.400 litres soil capacity, are ideal for planting medium-sized species.

"Jules et Jim" is the title of Truffaut’s film which tells of the love triangle formed by Jules and Jim who are both madly in love with Catherine, who was introduced to them by a friend. The three plant pot models were installed in the public area of the Glorias Shopping Mall in Barcelona, in the hope that they will live together in harmony, sharing the public area for decades, just like the characters in the famous film that served to inspire their creator.

They serve the double function of bench and plant pot, albeit with different geometric and ergonomic characteristics.

Made from two superimposed pieces of UHPC concrete that are inserted into each other. Inner waterproofing coating breathable and flexible. They simply rest on the paving, with no need for anchors. Drainage in both plant pots is carried out through the opening hidden in the base, without the need for any other drain.
