Overview
Urban furniture inspired by the exquisite vaulting of Gaudí's architecture: non-linear elements are extracted and fused seamlessly with practical function, answering common pain points of urban furniture design. Realised with robotic concrete 3D printing, the piece aims to make urban furniture more efficient and cities more beautiful — injecting a touch of elegance into public space as a metaphorical breath of fresh air for urban encounters.

Methodology
- SubD free-form modelling of the seating geometry
- Robotic arm concrete 3D printing for fabrication
