Stratum

Inspired by geological layering, the Stratum is an 18-meter-long multifunctional installation that breathes new life into the entrance area of an office building in Utrecht, The Netherlands. This piece invigorates the space with its dynamic shapes—twisting, bending, and unfolding in versatile forms. It functions as seating, a reception desk, plant holders, a high working desk, and even a leaning table. Crafted from 880 kg of recycled plastic, Stratum resembles a new type of “stone” that mimics natural rock formations through an advanced layer-by-layer 3D sculpting technique. Located at the Picnic headquarters, this distinctive installation was realized following the original design brief by DENC architects, who orchestrated the interior design of the building’s entrance.
