streeeeeeet bench!
Eindhoven-based designers Vincent Wittenberg and Guy Koenigstein have developed this bench for the city of Bat Yam (Israel) starting from the observation they made of the residents’ habits to use private chairs in public spaces.
They have taken inspiration from the system of paying to use a shopping cart at the grocery store. With a five shekel coin, one can release a seat and place it in a different spot; the deposit is returned when one brings the seat back.
