Outdoor furniture for greenways helps in sustaining the environment

By Naresh KumarChauhan /Dec 20 2010

Constructing more greenways, standalone routes restricted only for non-motorized traffic are possibly the best way to improve the urban environment, which is deteriorating due to increasing population and traffic day by day. Increasing environmental value and quality of life, Belgian designer Aurelie Derenne has developed outdoor furniture to create basic facilities for the walkers and bikers. Designed especially for European greenways, the furniture employs gabions, made using local stones, to resist harsh weather conditions and integrate natural environments perfectly. The outdoor furniture not only enhances the natural landscape but also helps in sustaining the environment.
