Life Ark
Life Ark is an outdoor public seat designed for parks and scenic areas. The form is based on the shape of a leaf, with flowing lines and a hollow grille surface. The seat is made of stainless steel, forged by hand over a mould and welded into shape. A baking varnish finish limits heat transfer, while the grille lets water drain away and air pass through. The backrest follows the curve of the body and reaches an angle of 108 degrees, so reading, working and resting are supported. The design combines decoration with rest and promotes the idea of green living.
