OBSTRUCT plinths
OBSTRUCT concrete plinths are designed for streets, squares and temporary installations that call for a combination of security and low visual impact.
These organically shaped concrete plinths feature 3 adjoining ‘islands’. Elements are non-directional and may be arranged in formations to create small spaces or paths between products.
The shape and height of 55 cm inviting pedestrians to stop and rest. They support living, inviting urban spaces and can replace concrete barriers currently being positioned in city streets to temporarily reduce vehicle speed.

One and a half years ago I became aware of the urban vulnerability towards lunatics willing to weaponize vehicles. Many, many sketches and some sad events later OBSTRUCT stands as a result of this awareness. OBSTRUCT is created for all the urban citizens that experience the visual contamination of their surroundings with bland concrete blocks.
OBSTRUCT is created for rapid deployment in case of emergencies or events. OBSTRUCT is used to regulate traffic and to define safe urban areas. OBSTRUCT is one designers attempt at fighting the lunatics.
OBSTRUCT needs no mounting. Their mobility allows the securing of temporary installations, events and other areas requiring traffic regulation and counter-terrorism measures.
