as an official supplier for expo milano 2015, fabrica has constructed ‘you make the park’ — a series of outdoor seating — installed within the venue’ piazza dei tigli to adhere with the global event’s mission of exploring sustainable development. beginning with the first principle: that what comes from the earth returns to the earth, the outdoor collection consists approximately of 60 articles ranging from benches, tables stools and to daybeds constructed from 100% recyclable materials.

a modular table can be affixed to the bench, creating the ideal space for a social gathering

designed by an international team of creatives, the ‘you make the park’ pieces are rendered from 100% recyclable materials including cork, galestrao terra-cotta and wood.; with no glue used in their assembly. the pieces are clean and simple, and are modular leaving it up to the users to modify their setting as the see fit. by allowing visitors to engage directly with the modules, the exhibition fosters a dynamic democratic and multicultural space which creates a dialogue between individuals and their space.

the terra cotta base serves as the building block for the entire collection

‘you make the park’ was realized in sponsorship with: amorim from portugal, for the cork; deroma from italy, for the galestro terracotto; prosign from italy, for the wood; and alquimia white, red & green for the web experience dedicated to the project’s site: www.makethepark.com

three bases can be linked together into a comfortable day bed

by employing spacers, a table can easily be snapped together

the bases can even be employed to hold display

for smaller gatherings the table can be reduced in size to foster an intimate atmosphere
