Founded in 2015 by designer Norbert Roztocki, moveart is a Swiss company creating sculptural play equipment and seating inspired by the fluid form of the DNA double helix.
Engineered for urban environments and built for long‑term durability, moveart architectural street furniture and seating blends relaxation, play, and social interaction in UK public spaces.
Accoya modified wood has become the benchmark in the timber industry for performance and sustainability. No other wood offers the same combination of durability, stability, and versatility. Sustainably sourced and with a low total lifetime carbon cost, Accoya actively contributes to a circular, bio-based economy and is one of the few truly sustainable building materials available.
In this video, we take a closer look at the groundbreaking science behind Accoya wood. Through a precise acetylation process using acetic anhydrid, combined with carefully controlled heat and pressure, we increase the moisture-resistant acetyl groups and reduce the water-attracting hydroxyl groups. This unique, patented technology transforms fast-growing, sustainable wood into an ultra-high-performance building material.
Urban Furniture promoting play
Designed for modern urban spaces, Moveart play sculptures and seating offer durable, long‑life performance while transforming public areas into dynamic play environments. Combining art, relaxation, and interactive play, they create multifunctional spaces that support community engagement. Whether used for seating, lying, balancing, climbing, sliding, or swinging, each sculpture invites playful exploration for users of all ages.
innovative designs to inspire all ages
Moveart sculptures and seating are crafted from 100% Accoya, a high‑performance timber renowned for its exceptional resistance to decay, fungi, and insects thanks to its acetylation process. With a lifespan of up to 50 years above ground and 25 years in‑ground or freshwater, Accoya outperforms most hardwoods while requiring minimal upkeep.
Its dimensional stability prevents warping or swelling, swelling 3–4 times less than traditional woods. This ensures each sculpture remains straight and true in all weather conditions. Accoya is also insect‑proof and thermally insulating, making it comfortable to touch in both hot and cold climates.
For Moveart, Accoya is the ideal material partner for durable, long‑lasting play sculptures and seating in urban environments.
