THE BENCH is a design competition created by The STUFFgroup, located in Canada. The idea is to create a seating space with a maximum production price of CD$500, which will transform the street environment to a form of public space. We came up with the WINNI[PEG] bench. A bench that engages the public in a creative and fun way by inviting them to manipulate the form and function of the bench. The elements out of which the bench is constructed are from an inexpensive and easily accessible material. The bench has movable pegged elements that plug into the static bench elements. Some pegged elements are able to be moved by a single person, while others require multiple people to be moved, encouraging interaction between otherwise would-be strangers.
