From old garden furniture to this bench
This bench started out as something quite ordinary: old garden furniture. Residents of Halderberge collectively donated hundreds of chairs and tables, which were given a new lease of life as these benches.
♻️ Here’s what you get:
- 🪑 252 pieces of antique furniture reused
- 🌿 21 sustainable benches in the municipality
- 🌍 2,300 kg of CO₂ saved
📍 The first bench
On 21 January 2026, the first bench was unveiled in a festive ceremony. There are now 21 of them, scattered throughout Halderberge. Each has its own location and story.
🌿 Take a moment to pause
Whether you’re sitting here enjoying the view or reading this story at home, this bench shows what we can achieve together. Sit down for a moment, take a look… and perhaps carry on a little more mindfully!
