Exhibited during the London Design Festival, this furniture resembles more a piece of art than an [outdoor bench](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-outdoor-furniture). Designed by Alex More, who has 14 years of experience working with metal, the Kirv latest collection is hand-made, requires almost no maintenance because it's made with [stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair), and its ergonomic design makes the furniture very comfortable. The colored tubes create incredible shapes and forms that will positively enhance all spaces; they can be used for public spaces like parks or playgrounds. In addition, Kirv's products are made with [100% recyclable materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair).
