For the commencement of Vienna Design Week, at the Palffygasse in the Hernals district of Vienna, the Milan based collective Esterni and Patrick Hubmann built a bench that grew and changed over time. From Core77:
Everybody's Bench is a public design intervention aimed at creating a public arena to stimulate the exchange of new ideas. It will consist of a long wooden bench that will eventually extend all along the Palffygasse, offering people a place to sit, relax, rest, organise small presentations, exhibit their own projects, live, and enjoy the public space.
\n
It included a public tools section so passers-by could contribute to the project, which was effectively an invitation for a community to shape and interact with itself in public. On Saturday, October 9, after the bench was completed, elements of it were auctioned off. Learn more at Esterni's Tumblr: In Public Space We Trust.
