Courtyard Cosmos

Peter van der Beek

Peter van der Beek proposes dynamic furniture that invites residents to reimagine and reinvent every inch of outdoor space. Centre stage is the humblest of props: the wooden picnic table. Heavy and static, it’s sliced up into individual sections for a lightness and versatility that allows people to use it as they please. Standing solo, separate fragments can be relocated for reading in the shade. Paired with a sibling they can host a board game. Six pieces come together for a shared meal. ‘Courtyard Cosmos’ offers a simple placemaking solution for our increasingly dense urban environments.
