Tree Guard Bench by Benjamin Mills
A dynamic and multi-functional piece of street furniture; ‘Tree Guard Bench’ aims to challenge perceptions of how public seating should look and perform.
Its primary functions combine the need to protect urban trees from vandalism, while providing an elegant seating solution.
‘TGB’ also acts as a piece of sculpture; making not only an aesthetic statement through the contrast between nature and engineered materials, but also through highlighting the importance of trees in urban environments.
Designer: Benjamin Mills (UK) (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: Benjamin Mills (United Kingdom)
Inspired By: Interaction within urban public space
Material: Powder coated aluminium
Colours: All
Dimension: 1340x1800mm

Druzhba 4 by Design Apparat
An unexpected paring of materials: while DRUZBHA 4 table legs are made of plywood finished with wax, the tabletop features the solid presence of fiber-concrete. The severity of the mixing and matching of volumes provides a point of encounter between two conflicting motifs: that of the soft sweetness of the legs, inspired by the rounded forms of Ottoman architecture, and the brittle harshness of the tabletop, a metaphor for the coercive brutality of the regime architecture.
Designer: Mirko Tattarini (Italy)
Manufacturer: Design Apparat (Bulgaria)
Inspired By: Soviet + Ottoman architecture
Material: concrete, walnut plywood
Colours: grey and black concrete
Dimension: 1604/800/741
