Product code: ESC-COMO
A solid modular concrete stockade fence recessed into a continuous foundation.
Como is a solid fence recessed below the paving that encloses an area like a stockade. The gaps between the modules match those between the vertical balusters, so the fence reads as one continuous unit, while its trellis-like structure adds a degree of transparency. The play of light and shadow brings life to an enclosure that is more opaque than a metal fence. Como was originally designed to enclose a school courtyard in Barcelona.
