"The ADP Bench, which stands for "Adults Don't Play," does exactly the opposite of what its cheeky name suggests, turning every seating moment into a mini adventure. The bench emerged from +Halle's sixth Annual Briefing, where designers tackled the theme of "Playing." Instead of creating something obviously childish with bright colors and cartoon shapes, Spacon Studio dug into behavioral research from the University of Southern Denmark."
"Here's where things get interesting. Each circular seat spins like a drummer's stool, and you literally can't help yourself when you encounter one. That irresistible urge to give it a twist isn't a design flaw; it's the entire point. Suddenly, you're adjusting the height, finding your perfect perch, maybe even converting it into a makeshift table for your coffee. The genius lies in its hybrid nature."
Spacon Studio and +Halle created the ADP Bench to encourage playful interaction in public seating. The bench originated from +Halle's sixth Annual Briefing on 'Playing' and incorporated behavioral research from the University of Southern Denmark showing adults continue to fidget and experiment. Each circular seat spins like a drummer's stool, allowing users to adjust height and orientation, transform seats into perches or table surfaces, and co-create seating arrangements. Construction uses MDF and steel with blue zinc galvanized details. Three colors—Plum, Ivory, Pale Lime—offer warmth. Adjustable plastic gliders maintain stability on uneven surfaces for practical public use.
