The People’s Bench

The People’s Bench est un modèle de banc pensé par Anonymous Studio pour s’implanter dans les parcs nationaux de Singapour. La forme de ces bancs est basée sur le caractère chinois “人” et se veut joueur sur la notion du bien-être ensemble proposant à deux ou trois personnes de se reposer. Plus d’images dans la suite.

Teeter Totter Twin Bench

The core of this seating design lies in its legs! The Twin Bench has a playful, interactive character… is simple and easy to assemble… and flat pack ready. All this and it’s composed of just 3 elements! Carefully placed cut-outs in the top make it possible for the interchangeable legs to be switched from the ends to the middle, transforming a standard bench into a seesaw for two!

Designer: Andrea Rekalidis

Repurposing done right!

One of the most abundant and yet easily forgotten objects, the shipping pallet can be found in all corners of the world… many of which are neglected, or disposed of after use. The Re-Stacked Lounger breathes new life into old pallets, repurposing them into a lightweight mobileseating structure. Though unrecognizable from its original form, each lounge maintains the character and patina of the material for a naturally aged aesthetic!

Multiple angles in the Re-Stacked Lounger that act to visually lighten the piece. These angled edges create a lounger that is more comfortable, with easy transition between standing and seating. The back two edges have been left square and unchanged to show the stacking structure clearly.  

Rough parts are finished smooth where users sit. This contrasts with the interior of the piece, which is still in its rough and original state and highly visible due to the stacking of the pallets, which are inherently porous.

To ensure that the lounger is inviting and looks comfortable, a soft surface has been developed and created in conjunction with the seat itself. Woollen fleece cuts along with the process of dry needle felting create a knitted blanket as a form of cushioning. The colors of the knit were created through the process of natural dye, sourcing colours from local waste streams, such as left over onion skins from local restaurants and rusty nails kept from the palettes. This woollen covering is completely detachable so that it can be easily washed and taken off if necessary, and is held in place though old bike inner tubes which have been tightened and fixed to the pallet.

Designers: John van Huenen, Andrew Wilkie, Stephanie Ward, Ursula Davy, & Hannah Hutchinson

Mesmerizing Marble

The ONDA marble bench is born from the desire to minimize material waste by using modular sections that aren’t instantly recognizable as similar. Cut from the same block, each “wave” is just alike with the same dimensions. Reversing the pattern with every other one being turned the opposite direction creates a visual illusion of woven complexity when it’s rather simple!

Designers: Paolo Ulian & Moreno Ratti

Fiber Logic

Proposed for NYC’s historical Battery Park, the ALIS bench serves as both commodity and art. Lightweight & durable, the ergonomic sections are constructed through the process of renewable resource plastic injection molding, common in the structuring of urban playground equipment. Using unique “fiber logic” reinforcement, ALIS efficiently redistributes external forces through its composite skin system. As night falls, each section illuminates from within to reveal a beautiful web of the fibrous internal strands.

ALIS efficiently redistributes external forces through its composite skin system. This skin system maintains a constant surface enclosure thickness while responding to areas of higher impact stress by the integration of fiber bundles. The networking of these bundles comes together to form deeper cross sections in material thickness thus providing optimum structural integrity. Subversive by day, these strands emerge as the sun sets to establish an alternate formal dimension.

Carbon Fiber Stone

Applied perfectly to this ultra-contemporary garden setting, Peter Donders’ creative seating designs, the C Bench and Stone, instantly command a strong visual attraction. Each uses a single strand of carbon fiber twisted around a mold. When the mold is removed the resulting structure is organic and airy in aesthetic yet incredibly strong. They’re a surprising solution for both indoor/outdoor seating and exceptional for defining a variety of modern spaces.
