Bespoke storage benches in Barcelona

Designed for the space, specified for use and fitted on site
Putting on shoes, gathering at a table and using a spare corner are different briefs. Seat height, back and storage follow the everyday action.
Designed for your space
A bench needs room to sit down and stand up
Seat length is only one dimension. Clearance in front, dining-table height where relevant and the opening path of drawers or lids matter too.
Opening tested
Drawers and lids are drawn with tables and doors in place.
Storage within reach
Shoes, toys and textiles need different compartments.
Support considered
Wall, floor and expected load are checked before making.
Our process
How we work, step by step
These steps connect the first estimate to the final fitting. Measurements and specification come before the binding price.
Initial estimate
Share the address, room photos, approximate measurements and the furniture you have in mind. We outline a price range to be checked against the measured space.
Measured survey
At the property we record the relevant dimensions, services and wall conditions. We also check how the pieces can enter the building.
Design, when required
If drawings or a design are needed, we develop them after the survey. The design work is included at no extra charge when you order us to manufacture to that project.
Detailed quotation
With the layout and specification agreed, we set out materials, fittings, delivery, installation and the final amount in writing.
Approval and deposit
You confirm the proposal and pay the deposit stated in the quotation. This authorises the production order.
Workshop production
We cut, finish and prepare the components according to the approved drawings and dimensions.
Fitting on site
The team delivers and assembles the furniture, then adjusts fronts, hinges and visible joints.
Review with you
Before closing the job, we go through doors, drawers and finishes together and record anything that needs a final adjustment.
Your project starts here
Give every centimetre a purpose.
I'm Joaquín Pardo. Show me the awkward corner, column or wall that is limiting your room. We can start with what you need to store and explore ways to use the space without crowding it.
No obligation. Rough measurements are enough to get started.
Solutions for your space
Use determines seat depth
A dining bench works beside a table. An entrance bench helps with shoes; a window seat may combine reading and storage.
At the table
Distance from the edge and legroom make the seat usable.
Putting shoes on
A stable top and accessible compartments help more than a deep chest.
Beneath a window
Backrest, radiator and moving sashes govern height and position.
With drawers
They must open clear of rugs and neighbouring furniture.

A detailed quotation
The information behind a useful quotation
You can start with rough dimensions. We will tell you what needs to be checked before a final specification is prepared.
The space
Photographs and approximate dimensions show the available area and nearby doors or services.
Your priorities
Explain what you need the furniture to do and what is missing now.
Your references
Send a few examples and point out the details you like.
Timing and access
Tell us the address, intended date and any work taking place before fitting.
From early guidance to a final figure
From enquiry to a confirmed proposal
01First review
We assess the information, clarify the scope and identify missing details. This enquiry does not generate an automatic price.
02Detailed quotation
The proposal sets out the agreed design, specification, price and fitting conditions after the necessary checks.
Send what you already have. We can identify the next useful photograph, measurement or decision.

Materials and details
Choose the specification as a whole
A surface, its supporting board, edges and hardware need to work together.
Product-specific performance and care instructions are checked against the selected specification.
Before deciding
Bespoke bench questions
What height suits a dining bench?＋
It follows the table, cushion and intended users. Cabinet height alone does not give the final seat level.
Lifting lid or drawers?＋
It depends on room in front and frequency of access. Drawers can be opened without moving someone seated above.
Could it sit before a radiator?＋
Only if the solution preserves airflow, access and the heater’s requirements. We check this before drawing it.
Start with the details you have
Tell us where the bench goes and what it holds
Wall photos, table or window measurements and items to store help us choose height and opening.
- 01 We review the scope of your idea
- 02 We identify dimensions still needed
- 03 Materials and fitting are specified before you order
Storage benches: keep the seat and contents usable
An entry or dining bench is sized for comfortable seating, not merely to fill a wall. Seat height and leg room depend on how it will be used.
For storage underneath, front or top access depends on circulation and nearby furniture. A lifting lid still needs clearance when cushions are in place.
Support and hardware follow the expected load. We also agree how the interior can be opened and cleaned.
Send the available length, nearby door photographs and what you plan to store. The final survey confirms supports and fixing points.
