About Ribbon Вулічная лаўка

Ribbon — гэта вулічная лаўка, спраектаваная для грамадскіх прастор, такіх як гарадскія плошчы, супольныя скверы і прамянады. Пяць распаўсюджаных паставаў адпачынку — падабраная, глыбокая, прамая, з нахілам назад і лежачая — былі вывучаны і спрошчаны да профільных крывых. Плаўныя пераходы паміж пяццю крывымі ствараюць адзіную выгінастую форму. Лаўка выраблена з рам з фанеры шырынёй 35 міліметраў кожная, размешчаных з прамежкам 50 міліметраў, злучаных разьбовымі стальнымі стрыжнямі, гайкамі і драўлянымі distancerами. Рэечная канструкцыя забяспечвае адток вады і падыходзіць як для ўнутраных, так і для вулічных умоў.

Production Technology
Individual wood frame pieces are connected by steel rods through pre-drilled holes, rods can be covered by wooden spacers; each wood piece is fasten by threaded rods and nuts.
Design Challenge
The seamless transition between the profile curves blend their differences into a singular form. The slatted design addresses drainage issues, making the bench applicable for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Research
Through observation and sketching, five common resting postures were identified: tucked-in, deep, straight-up, lean back, and lounging. Simplified curves representing these postures were used to shape the bench's profile, creating a smooth, unified design. The wooden slats offer a dual visual effect—semi-transparent when viewed from the front and appearing to be smooth and uniformly patterned, giving it a tactile and visually rhythmic quality when looking from the side.
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.
Project Duration
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.
Operation Flow
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.
