Bridge-ing

One unit that becomes a bench, a table or a shelf.

Role and collaboration
Design: Friðrik Steinn Friðriksson.

The units can be stacked into shelving or used as a place to sit with a book.

The project draws on bridges as structures that connect places and bring people together. Its form was inspired by a bridge on Bústaðarvegur in Reykjavík, while Ponte Vecchio in Florence offered another reference: a bridge that is also a place to gather.

Units combined to explore different heights and uses.

The units were developed using rotational moulding, a process for creating hollow plastic forms. Their light, multipurpose design connects people, objects and the spaces around them.
