The Batutto Bench is a 9-ton seating structure constructed from rammed earth and finished with terrazzo. Working alongside a team of six students, we sourced and excavated the clay on site, compacting it in 10 cm layers mixed with gravel to form a solid 40 cm base.

A pump-driven heating system is integrated into the bench, gently warming the terrazzo surface and enhancing user comfort. The terrazzo itself incorporates recycled glass and stones collected on site. Rubble from a nearby abandoned building was carefully broken down by hand, mixed with concrete, and polished after a nine-day curing period.

Designed with functionality and sustainability in mind, the Batutto Bench supports everyday use while embodying an ecological approach to making. It stands as a durable and timeless object, intended to endure as a legacy of craftsmanship for future generations.
