Entry Description

KAVICS, the Hungarian word for pebble is a seemingly simple public furniture piece, that one can converse on, read by, sunbathe on, or serenade someone from, however, these are only its features at first glance. KAVICS is actually a massive, concrete product casted from a mould, that was manufactured through 30 different sculptural shape studies, followed by a 3D scanning and CNC cutting process. It is the result of a long-term cooperation between sculptors, designers and concrete professionals.
