?️ World Trade Centre The Hague: How the Málaga Furniture Transforms Spaces into Unique Experiences
The World Trade Centre in The Hague is one of the most dynamic business epicenters in the Netherlands. Thousands of professionals walk its halls every day to work, meet, and create opportunities. But even in such a corporate environment, well-being and beauty matter.
That’s why, when the center decided to renovate its indoor garden, it opted for a transformation that combined sustainability, aesthetics, and functionality. The result: the installation of the Málaga picnic table, the Málaga bench, and the Málaga recycling bin, three pieces of urban furniture manufactured by Cervic Environment that have turned this space into a true urban oasis.
? World Trade Centre: The Business Heart of The Hague
The World Trade Centre The Hague (www.wtcthehague.com) is located in the modern Beatrixkwartier district, one of the most vibrant and sustainable areas of the city. With over 42,000 square meters of office space, the building houses more than 180 international companies, a conference center, coworking spaces, restaurants, and lounge areas.
Since its inauguration in 2010, it has established itself as a nerve center for innovation and global business relations. It is also part of the global World Trade Centers Association network, present in over 300 cities and 90 countries.
Its philosophy is clear: to create environments where businesses thrive and people feel inspired. And that’s where the Málaga furniture comes in.
☀️ Sustainable Furniture for an Unpredictable Climate
In the Netherlands, the weather can change from sun to wind or rain in a matter of minutes. Therefore, the outdoor furniture for the World Trade Centre had to be durable, versatile, and low-maintenance.
The products from the Málaga series by Cervic Environment were perfectly suited for this challenge, thanks to the use of galvanized steel combined with WPC (Wood Plastic Composite): An innovative material made from locally sourced rice husks and recycled polymers, which combines the beauty of natural wood with extreme resistance to water, salinity, and temperature changes.
Furthermore, WPC requires no maintenance, does not splinter, and does not fade over time. Perfect for a public space where elegance and durability go hand in hand.
?️ Málaga Picnic Table: Where Ideas Are Born
The Málaga picnic table combines contemporary design and functionality. Its galvanized steel structure with an anti-corrosive coating and its slats made of WPC synthetic wood provide a warm and natural aesthetic.
What’s most interesting is its modular and inclusive design:
- Accessible for people with reduced mobility, thanks to the side space adapted for wheelchairs.
- Available with a connection kit that joins the table with the benches, facilitating social interaction during events or collective breaks.
- Manufactured entirely in Spain, with recycled and recyclable materials.
With this table, coffee breaks at the WTC are no longer a routine moment but an opportunity for connection and inspiration.

? Málaga Bench: Comfort with a Mediterranean Soul
The Málaga bench is synonymous with versatility. Its modular design allows for creating curved, linear, or circular compositions, adapting perfectly to the environment of the World Trade Centre’s indoor garden.
Each bench can include an inner or outer backrest and armrests, and it is available in three ecological finishes: ReciPlast (recycled plastic), tropical wood, or WPC.
What truly stands out is its ability to create fluid and natural social spaces, where WTC workers can relax, chat, or simply enjoy the urban landscape under The Hague’s typically cloudy sky.

♻️ Málaga Recycling Bin: Sustainability with Style
In a building that houses hundreds of professionals from different countries, waste management is fundamental. That’s why the World Trade Centre integrated the Málaga selective recycling bin, a 75-liter modular system that allows for the separation of any type of waste: paper, plastic, organic matter, general waste, etc.
Made entirely of galvanized steel or combining this steel with tropical wood, WPC, or recycled plastic slats, it includes:
- A tilting system with a lock to facilitate emptying.
- Waste identification on both sides with universal icons and colors.
- An optional top ashtray for outdoor use.
Thanks to these bins, the WTC reinforces its commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, reducing waste and encouraging recycling among its occupants.

? The Power of WPC: Responsible, Maintenance-Free Design
One of the main stars of this installation is WPC (Wood Plastic Composite), a material that combines natural waste and recycled polymers.
Its advantages are notable:
- Sustainable: Uses agricultural by-products and is 100% recyclable.
- Durable: Resists the humidity, salt, and cold of the Dutch climate.
- Aesthetic: Mimics the texture and color of natural wood.
- Ecological: Requires no maintenance.
With this material, Cervic Environment demonstrates that urban design can be beautiful, functional, and respectful of the planet.
?️ The World Trade Centre as a Model of Urban Well-being
The World Trade Centre The Hague project is not just an aesthetic renovation. It is a declaration of intent: workspaces can also be sustainable, inclusive, and welcoming.
The combination of the Málaga picnic table, the Málaga bench, and the Málaga recycling bin has created an environment that invites people to stay, share, and care. A place where efficiency blends with beauty, and nature dialogues with modern architecture.
In a country where the sun is rarely seen, every ray counts. And thanks to this furniture, the WTC’s inner courtyard shines every day.
We Answer Your Questions: The Hague Project
We know this urban transformation project generates interest. Here, we answer the most common questions about the furniture and materials used in The Hague’s business center:
-
Why was the Málaga line chosen for this project in the Netherlands?
Because the Málaga line offered the perfect combination the center was looking for: a modern and welcoming design, high durability to withstand the variable Dutch climate, and a strong sustainability component, aligned with the building’s philosophy.
-
What exactly is the WPC the furniture is made of?
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) is an innovative material. The one used by Cervic Environment is made from rice husks (an agricultural by-product) and recycled polymers. It offers the visual warmth of wood but with extreme resistance to water and sun, and without maintenance.
-
Does the Málaga furniture require any maintenance?
Practically none. WPC does not splinter, rot, or fade, and the galvanized steel with a special coating resists corrosion. They are designed for high-traffic public spaces where durability is key.
-
Is the picnic table accessible for people with reduced mobility?
Yes! That is one of its strong points. The design of the Málaga picnic table includes an adapted side space that allows for comfortable and easy access for wheelchair users, promoting an inclusive space.
-
What makes the recycling bins different?
Their main advantage is modularity and clarity. They allow for the creation of “recycling islands” adapted to each type of waste (paper, plastic, organic, etc.), and their identification on both sides makes it easy for the thousands of building users to separate their waste correctly.
-
I’ve seen that the benches can be curved. Are they very versatile?
The Málaga bench is modular, which allows for great design freedom. You can create linear, circular, or gently curved compositions, with or without backrests, adapting perfectly to the architecture of the indoor garden.
-
Are these products truly ecological?
Sustainability is in their DNA. They are manufactured in Spain with recycled materials (like WPC or recycled plastic) and, at the end of their long life, they are 100% recyclable. It is a clear example of a circular economy.
-
Does WPC mimic natural wood well?
Yes, that is one of its great aesthetic advantages. It provides the texture and color of natural wood, creating that warm “urban oasis” that was sought, but with far superior technical performance.
-
What challenge did The Hague’s climate present for the furniture?
The Dutch climate is very unpredictable: it can go from sun to rain or wind in minutes. The outdoor furniture needed to be robust and made with materials that would not degrade with constant humidity or temperature changes.
-
Besides the benches and tables, what other elements are in the Málaga line?
Great question! The Málaga line is a very complete collection. In addition to the picnic tables, modular benches, and recycling bins used in the project, the family includes other elements designed to create coherent and unified urban environments, such as the Málaga lounger and the Málaga planter.
