Integrated 3D-Printed Bench with Planter
This elegantly crafted 3D-printed bench reimagines urban and outdoor furniture by seamlessly merging two functions—seating and greenery—into a single, sculptural unit. The design embodies the principles of form, function, and sustainability through additive manufacturing.
Design Features
Form:
A continuous, flowing silhouette with a gentle wave-like profile. The seat curves gracefully into a low backrest for ergonomic comfort, while the planter emerges organically from one end, forming a natural extension of the structure.
Planter Integration:
The integrated planter features a recessed, rounded basin filled with soil, currently holding a small green shrub. This built-in feature adds a living, biophilic element to the space, ideal for urban parks, terraces, or modern landscapes.
Surface & Material:
Crafted from durable filament using large-scale 3D printing, the surface displays fine horizontal ridges that emphasize its additive manufacturing origin. The beige tone brings warmth and neutrality, allowing it to harmonize with both natural and architectural environments.
