Public Seating Concept




Two students from ABK Stuttgart, Louisa Köber and Lara Salzmann, recently developed what is being called a public seating concept sculpture, which is a fancy phrase for...bench. Due to it's insanely geometric modernistic form, I'm not a fan. It looks more like a deformed iceberg than an place to sit. And don't even think about bringing children around all those sharp edges. I never thought I'd see a bench that looked dangerous. This "public seating concept" has a parallel with the snuggie, oddly enough. They hail the snuggie as this innovative and wonderful product, when in reality it's just a backwards robe. Same goes with this ugly public seating sculpture. It's just a bench.
