Earthquake Earthquake is a modular urban furniture system born from trentino layered mountains observation. Each elements of the volume emerges from the ground as a result of a real earthquake, showing the stone power and severity. What is not yet become part of the volume is still on the ground, creating a relation with the horizontal dimension and introducing other elements as grass, light and water.

Each stone layer has a different shape, and only from the layers assembly we can obtain the whole volume. This makes it easier to transport and absolutely adaptable to every kind of environment and grounds. By being modular we can play with its shape to obtain different urban furniture elements as benches, flowerpots, bollards, bike racks and rubbish bins.
