Furniture:
Rest and Play

San Francisco,

United States

est and Play looks into
imagination and interpretation
Ras generative tools for designing
public furniture. It is developed from an
in-depth look at playgrounds as places
for learning, socializing, and world-
building and transposes some of these
sculptural forms back onto the street with
renewed purpose. Designed for a multi-
generational demographic, the furniture
will provide a place to rest for the tired,
while enabling different activities by
children and adults alike. We view play as
a social act, and as a way to find balance
collectively, and so through it, we seek
to create spaces where interaction and
communication can lead to unexpected
opportunities.
