You make the park

“What comes from the Earth returns to the Earth”: this is the starting point for the outdoor furniture’s collection designed by Fabrica for Piazza dei Tigli at Expo.

Fabrica accepted the invitation to take part in Expo 2015’s core debate with You Make the Park, an outdoor furnishing range of about 60 articles – benches, tables, stools and daybeds – that will gradually “invade” Piazza dei Tigli from June to October 2015.

Designed by an international team of creative talents, the furniture is made of cork, Galestro terracotta and wood, 100% recyclable, natural materials. The articles are easily disassembled since no glue is used in their construction. Their design is clean and simple, but with a meticulous eye for detail in order to offer Expo visitors a comfortable, welcoming experience as they enjoy the furniture for relaxing, chatting or socialising in the open air.

The pieces are modular, they can be used in different ways or moved to encourage interaction as visitors are invited to create their own personal area in the exhibition site. A democratic, multicultural space that changes continuously as its visitors change and whose colours and shapes will evolve according to the season.

Four companies have provided technical sponsorship: Amorim, from Portugal, for the cork; and the Italians Deroma for the Galestro terracotta, Prosign for wood and assembly of the various materials, and Alquimia White, Red & Green for the dedicated site.

The public can take part in the discussion in all the world’s languages by sending comments, suggestions and photographs via Twitter and Instagram. The most interesting contributions will become an integral part of the furnishings, leaving the debate open for later visitors.
