Bench at Park Guell

This mosaicked bench snakes its way around the main square in Barcelona's Park Guell and is possibly the longest in the world. Jujol tiled the bench that surrounds the square using handmade ceramics and even added color and graffiti (such as crosses, prayers, and his own signature) to many of the tiles before re-firing them. Guadi is said to have used seated workers as models for the shapes of the bench.
