Dripping Benches

'Smooth & Smoothie' by Florent Degourc Looks like Melted Bubble Gum

I love the aesthetics of ‘Smooth & Smoothie’ by Florent Degourc, a bench set comprised of two foam-and-resin seating concepts. The melting aspect of each bench reminds me of melting bubble gum—and the pastel pink and mint green colors for each design certainly help to further that connotation.
