Block
The Block bench, custom-designed for the region of Mechelen, Belgium, represents a community-driven approach to sustainable furniture. Residents were invited to contribute their plastic waste, which was then recycled into new benches for the neighborhood. Each bench, capable of seating 3-4 persons, incorporates 120kg of recycled plastic. The design of the Block bench, including its shape and color, draws inspiration from the facades of the surrounding buildings, seamlessly integrating with the local architecture. This project not only enhances the communal spaces but also encourages community involvement in sustainability efforts.
