Seating elements for Family Center De Kikker in Amsterdam
For the courtyard garden of Family Center De Kikker in the Amsterdam district of Osdorp, design studio De Twee Heren created two large, distinctive seating elements. Thanks to 3D concrete printing, the organic shapes and smooth lines of the design could be realised with complete precision.
3D‑printed seating elements for a green meeting space
Within the family center — which brings schools, childcare, youth health services and community facilities together under one roof — De Twee Heren designed two seating elements that blend seamlessly with the open and playful layout of the winter garden and encourage interaction. Each seating element is composed of individual 3D‑printed concrete components: one object consists of 22 parts, the other of 21. Their robust, low‑maintenance structure makes them ideal for intensive use by children and visitors to the center.
The power of 3D concrete printing in public spaces
3D concrete printing gives designers of public spaces the freedom to create unique forms without the need for complex formwork. The design possibilities are vast. In addition, the technique enables sustainable production, with optimal material use and minimal waste.
