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.
The contours of street furniture are illuminated and accentuated with the VENUS SV IP67. Due to its small design, the luminaire fits perfectly into the contours of the street furniture. This provides visitors with an inviting place with comfortable seating even at dusk or in the evening.
As a whole, Peel Plaza forms a work of art that invites physical interaction. By fusing functionality, sculptural forms, trees and greenery, a unique and inviting place is formed, which extends along Weesperplein. A public square, activated by its users, who come to rest or spend a moment together.
