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.

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.

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.
