protection during times of upheaval, industrial designer curro claret has created furniture
to mark this historic contribution. churches in the past have remained open for
24 hours providing sanctuary for pilgrims, victims of war and the homeless. curro claret's
latest project is a bench that is able to transform into a bed. it explores to give existent
church furniture a more multifunctional use while continuing to reflect the church as a
place of refuge. curro claret has recently presented in the galeria H20 in barcelona.
