The Diagram Bench from Nola
Swedish furniture manufacturer Nola has some photos of their Diagram bench installed at a park.
Description from Nola:
Architects Clara Lindencrona and Karin Andersson usually design in response to an existing landscape, but their plastic-fibre ‘Diagram’ bench seems to be a landscape in itself. ‘Diagram’s precipitous backrest brings the outline of mountain range to mind, while its rippling surface suggests a topography of mountain plateaux sloping towards the sea. The bench is a beautiful compliment to a contemporary gallery or a modern museum – where it could be mistaken for an artwork – yet tough enough to be the school playground’s coolest attraction.

this bench is so ironic! feels like it’s mocking us… but in a passive way through which it makes me like it even more… bizarre. it almost completely turns the bench concept upside down. almost.
