Vestre’s UNITY is a flexible, modular system designed to transform schools, campuses, and city squares into playful, inclusive, and sustainable environments.
Developed in collaboration with landscape architect Nikolai Soyka and his agency schöne aussichten landschaftsarchitektur (sala), UNITY was unveiled at 3daysofdesign 2025 as a toolkit for building interactive, community-oriented spaces.
Crafted from durable wood and galvanized steel and available in 200 RAL colors, the system combines longevity with expressive design versatility.
UNITY by SALA architects won a 2025 Green Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design, and Urban Studies.
With its faceted geometry and bold angles, UNITY breaks the flatness of urban environments, bringing a tactile experience of nature into the city.
The collection includes seating, planters, and hybrid modules that can be arranged in endless configurations to create green, social landscapes that evolve with their surroundings.
Centered on inclusivity and sustainability, UNITY encourages creativity, physical activity, and intergenerational connection, utilizing low-carbon manufacturing and robust materials to ensure a lasting impact.
By uniting play, design, and environmental responsibility, UNITY redefines what adaptable public furniture can achieve.
