DEER ORGANIC / GRASS PAVER SYSTEM
The demand for new and innovative water management solutions in landscape design is crucial, given the increase in extreme weather conditions. Prodotto has developed Deer Organic for Cobefa, a new water-permeable concrete paver system that addresses current and future water management challenges.
Research
Our research has uncovered a genuine need for water-permeable grass paving systems that are directionless, robust, and aesthetically pleasing, suitable for any landscaping project, whether existing or new. Additionally, we found that even grass pavers for parks need to provide vital support for occasional heavy car and truck loads, while also facilitating efficient water infiltration and promoting the growth of grasses and other vegetation.
Design Strategy
In the past, we translated Cobefa's expertise in producing reinforced stable grid floors into a revolutionary reinforced rectangular grass paving system called 'Deer Grid'. The ideal product for creating rectangular layouts. We spotted the opportunity here to expand this range with a directionless grass paving system that can also be used in more organic settings and landscapes to create winding permeable paved paths and roads.
Easy Installation
Contractors find it incredibly easy to implement an architect's design. Each component is standardized in size, allowing them to be quickly and efficiently positioned alongside one another using our specialized clamp. Truly plug and play.
Non-Repeating Patterns
Conventional grass pavers are assembled in repeating patterns with translational symmetry, allowing one part of the pattern to shift and overlap perfectly with another, without rotation or reflection. The mathematical shape we designed lacks translational symmetry. Each section of its tiling appears distinct from the preceding parts.
From A-Z
We worked on this project from start to finish, from spotting the opportunity and analyzing the stakeholders to translating insights into a strategic design. We progressed from ideation to detailed design and followed through with manufacturing. Additionally, we focused on building a clear design DNA and helped translating it into a brand strategy, identity and striking visuals.
