Park benches serve as essential infrastructure in public spaces, combining seating functionality with opportunities for material experimentation and structural innovation. Designers approach bench design as a vehicle for exploring modularity, spatial activation, and the relationship between form and use.

The community examines benches as sculptural objects, modular systems that adapt to different contexts, and social catalysts that animate underused areas. Work ranges from geometric and minimalist approaches to organic forms inspired by natural elements, with emphasis on how seating design can reshape public interaction and urban experience.

It is designed to beautify and utilize the space by providing a place to sit, rest and enjoy the beautiful lake view. It is a shelter from the sun during the day and a light object at night.

PLATFORM is a systemic design approach which is developed as a module of 1-4 seater and location of each PLATFORM is decided after the study of surrounding areas.

Urban mAtrA - Shadow of a Tree

mAtrA in Sanskrit means furniture, and the earliest known street furniture would be sitting under a tree. Translating these thoughts into a product for the 20th century urban environments, resulted in the Urban mAtrA - a fold-able, mobile and movable shadow of a tree. Material exploration aided the feasibility of the furniture for extreme climates.

The GATHERING-TIME

This proposal, titled GATHERING-TIME, encourages everyone to discover a series of gathering spaces through interstitial spaces in urban university campuses. The design proposal intends to redefine the campus bench from a repeatable object into a distinct, expressive space that can attract and delight people, inviting them to gather in small and large groups.
