| DESIGN NAME: Ribbon PRIMARY FUNCTION: Street Bench INSPIRATION: Ribbon draws inspiration from body posture and curves when people rest naturally. The bench is crafted based on five common outdoor resting postures. The design simplifies the interface between body and furniture to create the bench’s profile curves, using smooth transitions between these five profile curves to create a meandering, comfortable street bench. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Five postures are studied and used to shape the bench’s profile curves. This design approach ensures the bench accommodates these postures, offering a more comfortable resting experience. Additionally, this bench not only adds aesthetic value as an urban sculpture but also blends well with street side planter. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The bench features five profile curves designed to accommodate most common resting postures: tucked-in, deep, straight-up, lean back, and lounging. Unlike traditional street benches, it offers a more comfortable resting experience and seamlessly blends with street side landscaping. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The bench is flexible for installation in various settings, including city plazas, community squares, promenades, and similar locations intended for people to sit and rest for a moment. |
