The Waterbench is a functional yet playful piece that reimagines public seating by integrating self-sustaining greenery. Its porous concrete surface collects rainwater to nourish the plants within, creating a closed-loop system that enhances urban spaces.

As cities become increasingly paved and green spaces disappear, valuable rainwater is lost to drainage systems. The Waterbench challenges this trend by restoring natural processes—seamlessly blending form, function, and sustainability to bring life back to the urban landscape.
