We are excited to present Bench X, an innovative 3D-printed concrete bench that blends modern technology with nature and historical design. More than just seating, Bench X integrates planters, transforming urban spaces by inviting nature into the city. Inspired by Gothic architectural elements, it connects to the region's rich cultural heritage, merging timeless aesthetics with forward-thinking design.

Developed with the Klokner Institute, Bench X ensures exceptional engineering quality, durability, and sustainability. Its ergonomic surfaces are designed for comfort and effective drainage, providing a pleasant seating experience, even in rainy conditions.

Beyond functionality, Bench X creates a space for contemplation and gathering, fostering community interaction. The integrated planters invite residents to care for and enhance their surroundings, contributing to a more sustainable and attractive urban environment. By combining 3D printing technology, advanced materials, and a community-focused design, Bench X sets a new standard for functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable public spaces.
