WATERBENCH
Collecting rainwater for the plants
The Waterbench is a playful piece of furniture that collects rainwater for the plants incorporated into the seating surface. This way rainwater is used in public spaces to create self-sufficient green. The rainwater naturally seeps through the porous concrete cover and is collected in a water-tight concrete reservoir where the plants find their water and food.
Cities are becoming more and more paved surfaces. There is less green and the public space turns gray. The precious rainwater directly flows to streams and rivers through the sewerage. How can we restore natural processes and give back some green to our urbanized landscape?
