Peel Plaza by PolyLester in Amsterdam

Peel Plaza is a sculpture and, at the same time, a publicly accessible urban terrace, consisting of a wooden decking whose parts appear to have been peeled off. Part of the decking, which also incorporates the existing trees, are six benches and tables. The peeled-off parts – the so-called Peels – on which one can sit or lie down, form lively and spatial gestures on Weesperplein, evoking the idea of an oasis in the city. As a whole, Peel Plaza forms a work of art that invites physical interaction.

A public square, activated by its users, who come to rest or spend a moment together.
