Giant Public Hammocks

'Bench Between Pillars' by Ryuji Nakamura Architects is Odd but Fun

The days of sitting on a regular bench in the mall are over. The 'Bench Between Pillars' by Ryuji Nakamura Architects just made sitting in the mall much more fun. What is unique about this seating design is that mimics hammocks.

Although you can't talk to your friends face-to -face, you can fall asleep in one of these seats if you wish. See more images of the 'Bench Between Pillars' by Ryuji Nakamura Architects above.
