Made for the meeting places of the future

Good, functional, and beautiful design is vital if a product is to survive generations, varied use, ever-changing weather and new styles and fashions. However, even after a product has been delivered to a project, the process of realizing the vision of ever-lasting life carries on. Meeting places in public spaces have to withstand a great deal- they are almost constantly in use. That is why we have set up a scheme for worn furniture to be restored many years later and given a new life, to the benefit of generations to come.

A classic that lasts forever in Kulturskoleparken

Kulturskoleparken was originally the school playground of the old Østsiden School dating from 1883. It is now a school of culture and a center for adult education in Porsgrunn municipality. The park is the district’s only play and activity area and is adjacent to one of the main streets in the city center. By 2019, the area had become run down and was threatened with closure. On the initiative of the Velforeningen neighborhood association, work was begun on developing Kulturskoleparken into a social meeting place for the local community, to encourage play and improve the park’s function as a green breathing space in the city.
