Wind Energy Ireland Expo

Demonstration Products for display at the 2025 Wind Energy Ireland Expo at the RDS. Welcome Planter-Benches at the entrance, and a Tri-Spoke seat inside the event hall.

Planter-benches were created by BladeBridge as a welcoming feature for the 2025 Wind Energy Ireland Expo at the RDS Dublin. Fabricated from offcuts of an LM13 blade, the units combine integrated seating and planting to create flexible, people-centred social spaces. Each planter-bench is mounted on durable castor wheels, allowing for easy repositioning to suit changing layouts and event needs, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Also featured is BladeBridge’s signature Tri-Spoke Bench, crafted from offcuts of the same LM13 wind turbine blades. The sculptural form echoes the triple blade geometry of a turbine rotor. Unlike traditional linear seating, the tri-spoke configuration invites people to sit in close proximity without the social pressure of sharing a standard bench, naturally encouraging informal interaction and “accidental conversations” between strangers. The result is a piece of public furniture that is not only durable and low-maintenance, but also intentionally social by design—transforming reclaimed blade material into a welcoming, conversation-starting feature for public and event spaces.
