Estudio Cabeza

Benches, bollards, planters and bicycle racks form the working vocabulary of Estudio Cabeza, a Buenos Aires company dedicated to urban elements for public space. Founded by architect and designer Diana Cabeza after reworking Puerto Madero, the studio covers design, development and production of street furniture in wood, reinforced concrete, rotational-moulded plastic, aluminium, FRP and steel.

Two areas structure the practice: a catalogue of own-design products, and bespoke development for studios, developers, municipalities and public organisations. Pieces stand in Roppongi Hills and Toranomon Hills in Tokyo, and in New York, Chicago, Zurich, Lisbon and Bangkok. Ergonomics, low maintenance and circular design guide each specification, with recyclable plastics, managed timber and fibreglass waste blended into concrete.
