URBAN FURNITURE FOR THE CORK STREET STUDENT HOUSE

Design urban furniture is the protagonist of the installation in Dublin

Designing the outdoor spaces of a university student residence is about much more than adding places to sit. These are spaces where students meet, build relationships and begin finding their place in the world, so they need furniture that is attractive, functional, practical and resistant.

A comfortable common space can encourage people to do more, connect with peers and feel at home even when they are away from home. The Cork Street project uses customized colors to make the shared environment welcoming, desirable and lively.

The product design responds to the needs of the people who use the space and, where possible, anticipates them. Ventiquattrore.H24 picnic tables support outdoor studying, shared lunches, tutoring and informal conversations.

Outdoor design can extend everyday living into terraces, gardens, paths and public spaces.
