Taking cue from one of the most wonderful creations of the Nature, the flower, Portuguese designer Alexander Castro has come up with a public seating called the “Flower Seat” that as its name indicate blooms like a flower to receive guests or visitors in a park or a marketplace. The public seating features the frame finished in high-density polypropylene and recycled plastic, while the seat and back are made in interlaced ribbons of cork oak. The sustainable seat also includes a base, underneath each seat, composed by reused shock absorbing springs of old cars. With cities fast becoming a jungle of thick concrete, the Flower seat with its organic form and sustainable materials presents a refreshing design.
