Playful precision

At Herlev Hospital, six oversized fruit and vegetable sculptures crafted in GRC blend artistic expression with technical precision, while telling the story of natural medical remedies throughout time. These award-winning pieces enrich both the hospital and its community.

Herlev Hospital’s entrances and green spaces are adorned with six large-scale sculptures of fruits and vegetables, created by Danish art collective Superflex. Spanning up to 13.5 meters in length, the pieces include a pear, carrot, potato, broccoli, garlic, and strawberry, each crafted with incredible detail in white GRC.

Using advanced scanning techniques such as MRI and laser imaging, the 3D models were brought to life with a high level of accuracy. The 20 mm-thick GRC elements balance elegance and durability, earning the project a GRCA GRC2023 Award for outstanding non-architectural applications.
