Product code: FRUITS
A family of fruit-shaped concrete landscape elements for play, rest and socialising.
Fruits is a family of landscape elements designed to go beyond the usual human scale and offer objects to play, rest and socialise on. As if composing a still life, landscape architects can combine the Pear, Mango and Banana to create a playful setting where the curving, rounded Fruits shapes become a meeting and socialising place for users of all ages. The elements are made of unreinforced cast concrete and are simply placed on the surface.

Parks, small parks and squares, school and kindergarten grounds, residential courtyards and seating areas where informal objects for play, sitting and meeting are needed.
A composition of all three shapes makes the greatest impression – arrange the Pear, Mango and Banana freely, leaving walkways between them. The elements are very heavy, so lifting equipment is needed to install them.
