Never worry about sitting next to another oddball in the park again, thanks to Nesnel Ofis and the NU/B1. This concept lets you slide your seat as close or as far away from someone as you'd like.
Nesnel Ofis' creation seems like it would work wonders in parks and public transit stations. The only bad thing I can gather from the NU/B1 is the awkward looks you will receive when you take a seat next to someone and then slide away.
