The ‘Grebbe handbook’ delivers a vision for a no-nonsense (military inspired), rural collection of furniture for the 67 km of the Grebbe Water Line.
Together with landscape architect Michael van Gessel, are Patrick McCabe (landscape architect) and Mark van der Bij (design and manufacturing) were invited to design a line of furniture for the Grebbelinie which would strengthen the vision that they had put into the plan for a national monument.
The designs are unobtrusive and easily out-forth with the military, but rustic qualities of Grebbelinie form the basis and the idea has many spike-the forts and work in the Gelderland Valley to complete acids. The furniture line is composed of three essential materials: steel, wood and sand. The steel parts with black coating are used for the fence, pedestrian and bicycle locks and information boards. The benches and tables are made of wood. The wall components, including denominations, quay walls and other vertical elements, are made of sandbags with a concrete mixture. The paths are made of sand.

The full suite of furniture has been detailed, priced and distributed as a digital handbook for anyone who works on one of the projects within the field of Grebbelinie. The furniture designs are currently being applied to more than five forts and works and a number of incidental areas along the Grebbelinie for several smaller projects
