Innovative Street Furniture for Inclusion and Sustainability
Circular Connect:
Circular Connect is a groundbreaking concept in street furniture design that not only fosters communication and inclusivity but also embraces circular principles by utilizing sustainable materials and offering versatile functionalities.
Symbol of Circle:
Inclusion and Communication At the heart of Circular Connect is the symbol of the circle, representing unity, inclusivity, and open communication. Our street furniture aims to create spaces where people from diverse backgrounds can come together, share ideas, and foster a sense of community.
Circular Design:
Our secret lies in repurposing old formwork from construction sites, reducing waste and embracing a circular economy.
Dismantle, repurpose, reimagine.
Join us in creating inviting spaces for community gatherings while making a positive impact on our environment.

Shading Spaces:
Circular Connect provides innovative shading solutions that protect against harsh sunlight and create comfortable gathering spots throughout the day.
Communication Spaces:
Integrated shelves and communication boards encourage individuals to share books, messages, and ideas with the community, fostering a culture of exchange and learning.
Integrated Seating:
Circular Connect incorporates ergonomic seating elements into its design, promoting relaxation and interaction among visitors. Moreover, these elements are equipped with discreet lighting, making the furniture usable during nighttime gatherings.
Green Integration:
We integrate plants into our furniture design to enhance the environment's comfort and aesthetics. Lush greenery not only beautifies the surroundings but also contributes to a refreshing and inviting atmosphere.
Experience innovative street furniture inspired by the captivating Apollonian gasket.
The Apollonian gasket is a fascinating fractal pattern named after the ancient Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga. It is a visually stunning and intricate arrangement of circles that can be constructed iteratively.
Circular Design:
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our choice of material: old formwork from construction sites.
To achieve this, we utilize old formwork, which would otherwise be discarded as construction waste. By repurposing this material for street furniture, we extend its life cycle, minimize waste, and contribute to a more environmentally friendly approach to urban design.
Additionally, our furniture elements are designed to be easily dismantled and repurposed after their usage, promoting a circular economy that minimizes waste. Timber is our material of choice due to its renewable nature and low carbon footprint. We are using timber from old formwork found at construction sites. By repurposing this material for street furniture, we give it a new lease on life, reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly practices.
