Bringing shade and calm to overheated urban areas.
rFRP (recycled Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is a sustainable composite material created by transforming industrial fiber-reinforced polymer waste into high-value resources. Materials that are typically difficult to recycle are given a second life as functional and aesthetically refined urban elements. In this project, the chair is made entirely from rFRP, demonstrating how discarded industrial materials can be reimagined into durable, weather-resistant and lightweight structures with the flexibility to form expressive, organic shapes. By fully relying on recycled material, the design supports the principles of a circular economy, keeping materials in use for as long as possible, reducing waste, and contributing to a more sustainable approach to urban design.
Modular Design
The bench and backrest are designed as a modular system that allows for flexible configurations depending on spatial needs and available resources. Individual seating and backrest modules can be combined in different arrangements, making it possible to vary the number of seats and the presence or frequency of backrests. This adaptability enables the design to respond to different urban contexts-from compact installations to larger public settings-while also allowing adjustments based on specific budget constraints. By scaling the system up or down and configuring elements as needed, the design offers a versatile and efficient solution that can be tailored to both place and use.
