Designed by Nicolausson Martin and Tom Eriksson, the concept of the ‘Seesaw Bench’ encourages people to interact with one another in public places.

The bench requires at least two individuals for it to be functional, which forces people, even strangers, to collaborate. That is, unless you feel like setting down alone in a really uncomfortable position.
