carmel merhav: open grid street furniture system

‘open grid’ street furniture system by carmel merhav

jerusalem-based designer carmel merhav has developed a street furniture system that creates a variety of functions and scenarios in the public domain. ‘open grid’ approaches the organizational plans of spatial design in a manner that allows for a greater adaptation to its surroundings. by incorporating an open infrastructure, the seating provides an independently functioning system that can easily accommodate site-specific context and placement. the ability to remove the aluminum benches results in a greater freedom for users to choose where they can sit.
