In the context of a Living Lab course, the consultancy company KplusV , as a partner of the European Horizon 2020 project CINDERELA, challenged master students Gwenhwyfar Spil and Toni Kuhlmann to up-cycle concrete.
They designed and built recycled concrete outdoor furniture for a small square at the Amsterdam Living Lab next to the AMS Institute building, calling it the Concretely Circular project .
