The ‘Tree-Bench’ ( The Treehugger )

The ‘Tree Bench’ for the municipality of Amersfoort,

I actively used the environment and worked with the elements that the park had to offer: trees, city walls, paths, and grass. It is no challenge to just dig a hole and a install a bench. An ideal ( park ) bench needs the environment and the environment needs the bench too. To achieve that goal a bench contributes to the park as a walk, sit, rest, kiss, lie, meet, watch, dog walking, day-dream, stretch, run, think, decide, smoke and lunch spot

The ‘Tree-Bench’ ( treehugger – bench ) 2008 / 2011

Currently the bench is on show at the “Kunsthal KAdE” Amersfoort, The Netherlands from April 2 till may 8
