The 2-Person Rocking Bench Made From 55kg of Plastic Waste - Yanko Design
"The X Bench explores movement as a design principle. The rocking motion isn't just a feature. It's the whole point of the bench."
"The form is defined by two intersecting volumes that create a sculptural, sturdy X-shaped structure. It's the kind of piece that makes you want to walk around it before you sit down."
"Each X Bench uses 55 kilograms of recycled plastic and saves an estimated 143 kilograms of CO2 compared to conventional manufacturing."
"The studio sources materials from local recyclers in Rotterdam, prints on demand, and uses no adhesives or mixed materials, which means every piece can be fully recycled at the end of its life."
The X Bench Swing by The New Raw features a unique design where two sitters face opposite directions while sharing a rocking motion. This bench resembles a kinetic sculpture, defined by an X-shaped structure. The design emphasizes movement as a core principle, with the rocking motion integral to its geometry. Made from recycled polypropylene using industrial robotic arms, each bench utilizes 55 kilograms of plastic waste and reduces CO2 emissions significantly. The studio prioritizes sustainability by sourcing materials locally and ensuring full recyclability of the product.
