rugwind: guerilla bench

rugwind: guerilla bench



the german design studio rugwind has designed this seemingly normal electrical box that transforms
into a bench for sitting when needed. also known as guerrilla bench, the project aims to subvert the
objects of the typical urban environment, making them more human and functional. the bench neatly
folds up inside a standard electric box case. a user simply opens the box, unfolds the bench and takes
a seat by themselves or with friends to create a small congregation point. the box blends into the street
scene, only coming to life when a user with knowledge of its hidden life walks by.

its a fun idea, but why would you hide a bench from everybody else? Thats kind of shellfish.

Phoenix suffers from a dearth of useable public places.
There sometimes aren't benches even at bus-stops. Would the city notice if someone put these in?
