Description: This seating sculpture by the German sculptor Arndt von Diepenbroick combines functional furniture design with figurative abstraction. Two stylized bear figures form the backrest and armrests of a bench. The smooth, white-pigmented surface and organically rounded shapes give the piece a playful and at the same time monumental effect.
The used fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin ensures high stability with relatively low weight and is typical of the materials Diepenbroick uses in his publicly visible sculptures. The bench is not only a functional object but also a sculpture in public spacethat invites interaction.
