"The design does something more subtle. It reframes how we relate to space, to objects, and to each other. Instead of forcing a fixed posture or direction, Venture removes instruction altogether."
"Public seating is often designed with control in mind. Benches align bodies, regulate posture, and define how long one should stay. Venture does the opposite. It allows ambiguity."
"The modularity of the system further expands this idea. Developed in dialogue with landscape architects, the design adapts to different environments rather than imposing itself on them."
"It supports solitude without isolation and togetherness without obligation. A person can sit facing outward, disengaged from others, or turn inward, becoming part of a shared moment."
Venture seating system repurposes steel tubing from the oil industry into a public seating design that emphasizes human interaction. Designed by Lije Studio, it features a modular structure with no fixed posture or direction, allowing users to interpret their seating experience. The design encourages both solitude and togetherness, adapting to various environments without imposing control. By reframing how people relate to space and each other, Venture challenges traditional public seating norms and promotes a more fluid social interaction.
