The Kajen Public Bench by Thomas Bernstrand
Swedish designer Thomas Bernstrand has created the Kajen public bench for the Stockholm based manufacturer, Nola.
From the designer:
Conventional wooden slats form the seat and backrest of this undulating bench, but its design is completely unique. Crafted in an expressive, swooping form that balances atop three structural supports, the bench is made with maximum comfort in mind. One of the first park benches to be accompanied by a footstool, the design invites those seated to put their feet up, or just sit back and relax. The laid-back luxury of this bench makes a unique addition to any public space.

Oohhh~ Didn’t notice at first that the leg rest is bolted to the floor. I thought it can be dragged towards the main bench to form one bench.
Nevertheless, it’s definitely a good idea for parks and public places.

Great bench, however the footstool would provide hours of entertainment for the local skateboarding crew!

i like this because i am only 5′ tall and my legs rarely reach the ground from most seating. the foot rest in a nice resolution to that, and personally more comfortable anyway.
