Since 1987, Urbidermis has been committed to improving urbanity through beautiful, socially responsible, and environmentally conscious design.
Born to renew the urban landscape of Barcelona in anticipation of the 1992 Olympics, the company has built a reputation for innovation in urban lighting, street furniture, micro-architecture, and trees. Today, Urbidermis is leading the change towards greener, more connected, and more human cities.
For all of us, life among buildings is an extension of our domestic spaces. Urbidermis aims for a city that puts citizens and nature at its centre. A city that transforms and evolves, allowing us to do so alongside it.
Today, Urbidermis is the world’s first urban furniture company to receive the B Corp certification – an achievement that represents their commitment to the community once again.
