Albergaria-a-Velha, PT
Angola. Savannah. The playful, grotesque and surprising physiognomy of the secular baobab tree, is distinguished within this lonely and warm wilderness. The historical and cultural reference intervened in the street furniture project, strengthening its local identity. The cast iron, a noble material, gives body to the trunk and the branches of the tree, which support the slats of the park benches. The timber used is autochthonous. The bollards, in cast iron for the same reason, suggest the trunk, but more elegant. They also served as support to the paper bin, of considerable dimensions, as is local practice, whose basket is produced in metalized and painted steel, galvanized steel or stainless steel.
