DUNE BY RAINER MUTSCH FOR ETERNIT

0 Comments

Austrian designer Rainer Mutsch has created this curvaceous modular outdoor furniture collection in concrete for Eternit.

Called 'Dune', (clearly referencing its gentle sloped lines) the piece pays homage to Eternit's expertise in concrete manufacture but since it's also hand formed, it has a definite sense of craftsmanship to it. 

According to Mutsch;

"Dune visualises the present material-technical maximum parametres of the fibercement material. The result is a highly stable structure with a load-carrying capacity way over the demanded requirement profile for public spaces.

The rainwater flows through a hole in the seating surface to the inside of the loop where it is led directly out of the furniture through the curved bottom surface to dry the furniture as fast as possible."

There are five available elements which can be arranged in a huge number of combinations - and if greenery is your thing, you can also incorporate plants into the mix.
