Communal bench is also a kinetic installation to foster interaction - Yanko Design
"The design of the 'Balance Bench' compels users to engage with one another, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility in public interactions."
"At first glance, the Balance Bench appears as a minimalist piece of furniture, but its unique structure requires mutual effort for balance."
The 'Balance Bench' by artist Martin Binder redefines communal seating in Einbeck, Germany, compelling users to engage with each other for balance. Its minimalist design rests on a single cylinder, making it unusable alone, thus fostering communication and shared responsibility. Originally planned for a 2021 art festival, the installation reflects the pandemic's impact on social interactions in public spaces, inviting park-goers to share experiences and connections.
