¡Me Apunto!

Winner - Concéntrico X Romanian Design Week 2025

Cities are living ecosystems where every element can play an active role. Among these, rows of street trees stand as silent guardians of public spaces, offering shade, oxygen, and tranquility amid bustling urban life. “¡Me Apunto!”highlights an essential feeling in the civic realm — a sense of participation and companionship — by creating a new bond between pedestrian and green elements in the city.

The modular design features a series of plug-in benches with dedicated cutouts for trees, transforming each seating area into an intimate interaction with nature, where the tree becomes a seated companion. Its flexibility, modularity, and adaptability allow it to seamlessly integrate into diverse urban landscapes, from bustling plazas to quiet neighborhood corners. By encouraging small yet profound interactions with nature, this initiative rekindles affection for the urban environment, transforming public spaces into a living canvas of connection and shared moments.
