Production Technology: The product is composed of wooden planks in varying lengths, a linear LED light, and metal supports that ensure the bench remains level.
Design Challenge: The main challenge is creating a piece that can be used for seating in public spaces while being both environmentally friendly and made from natural materials . At the same time, it must respect personal boundaries, bringing people together in a way that allows them to feel comfortable and at ease.
Research: This qualitative research explores how urban furniture design shapes user behavior and social interaction. Using observations, interviews, and ergonomic analysis, it found that thoughtful design guides behavior, respects boundaries, and fosters social harmony. The study highlights integrating ergonomics, psychology, and aesthetics to create inclusive, user-centered urban spaces.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by the continuity of natural forms and their interaction with the urban environment. The gradual twist of the wooden structure evokes a sense of movement, flexibility, and transformation. Integrating greenery within the form symbolized the return of natural life to urban spaces, where contemporary design, functionality, and environmental sustainability find a balanced harmony.
Project Duration: Two months - Melbourne, Australia
Operation Flow: The overall design of this product is composed of wooden planks arranged side by side, forming a twisted parametric shape. In the upper surface and central section of the bench, some of these planks are removed to create space for planting flowers and greenery. A linear LED light is integrated beneath the bench, following its curved form to illuminate the surrounding area in harmony with the design.
