Sculptural Concrete Bench

Inspiration for the bench derives from natural organic elements such as trees, landscapes and cave structures. The golden ratio and two-third proportions were used to create a calculated sculptural form. The design of the bench illustrates a complex form achieved through the artist/designer using CAD software and rapid manufacturing process. Through the advancement of technology and collaboration between machine and man, a unique sculptural concrete bench can be manufactured. Furthermore the design will communicate the evolution of how the artist/desginer works together with technology and machines in order to create something that previously would not have been entirely possible to manufacture at the same level of precision and quality. The bench has also been optimised for the potential of being 3D printed out of concrete.
