Menhir Bench Kooij
About the Item
Menhir bench designed by Kooij is unwieldy; different slabs of pressed prototypes and production waste are slowly cut and carved into the contours of the Menhir Bench.
Menhir bench is composed of solid, 4cm thick menhir's, and the bench is suited to many lifetimes of use. Finished without lacquer or oil, it can be re-polished endlessly.
Detritus decays into the soil, soil is compressed into stone. This Menhir Bench has a comparable history. It is made from melted and compressed plastic: recycled fridge interiors, second-hand CDs, and 3D prints of prototypes from Studio Dirk Vander Kooij. The color and the patterns bear witness to that production process. The plastic was mixed with chalk, which results in soft, soapy edges when fine-sanded. The Menhir Bench wants to bridge the gap between stone and plastic, thereby promoting sympathy for and trust in recycled plastic waste.
