Viaduct bench
Designed by Anki Gneib, takes its inspiration from Roman aqueducts and viaducts. The bench consists of sections that together build up a strong architectural presence, with their characteristic arches. It has a strong visual yet tranquil expression. The wooden bench is made in cross-laminated timber, using only residual products from the building industry (waste material from CLT-panels for cutting out windows and doors).
Jury statement
How can we make new products from rejected materials? Anki Gneib’s simple, yet sophisticated bench made of surplus material from glu-lam construction elements has the answer. Its design language is based on ancient viaducts, an archetypal shape that has here been upcycled in the form of a robust modular wooden bench, built to handle tough usage both indoors and out.
