About Ribbon 거리 벤치

리본(Ribbon)은 도시 광장, 커뮤니티 공간, 산책로와 같은 공공 장소를 위해 디자인된 거리 벤치이다. 몸을 웅크린 자세, 깊이 앉은 자세, 곧게 앉은 자세, 뒤로 기댄 자세, 눕듯이 편안한 자세 등 흔히 취하는 다섯 가지 휴식 자세를 연구하여 단면 곡선으로 단순화하였다. 다섯 곡선 사이의 매끄러운 전환은 유려하게 굽이치는 하나의 형태를 만들어낸다. 벤치는 각각 폭 35밀리미터의 합판 프레임을 50밀리미터 간격으로 배치하고, 나사 강봉과 너트, 목재 스페이서로 결합하여 제작하였다. 살대 구조는 배수가 원활하여 실내와 실외 환경 모두에 적합하다.

Unique Properties: 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.
Dimensions & Packaging: The bench wood frames material is Plywood, connected by steel rod. All wood frames are center-spaced 50mm apart, are each 35mm wide, with varying perimeter. The overall wood volume used is under 3 cubic meter.
Tags: street, bench, resting, ergonimic,
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.
