rubber bench by gabor kodolanyi from hungary

The aim of my project was to design a street furniture that shows innovation and environmental-friendliness in its material form. As there is plenty of rubber tire waste avaliable and its storage and decontruction are a big burden on our environment I chose recycled ground tire as bench material. The monoblock bench would be made by compression and it is covered with coloured rubber layer. In the creation of the form I applied the principle "less is more". Special features of the bench are: sterilasable, „vandalproof”, resist to chemicals, less harmful when falling to it, the feedstock is cheap and the most important that it is not a „recycling dead end” because it is still recyclable. In the creation of the form I applied the principle "less is more".
