Design brand KEHA3 has created a set of bulbous berry outdoor lights that conveniently also double up as seating pods to be used in urban parks. The design takes inspiration from an Estonian language game that's literal translation means cranberry leading the furniture pieces creatively encompass the fruit's round and colorful aesthetic.
The benches are made from rounded plastic red material that is molded to be a nearly perfect circle with the tip sliced off. The curved inside acts as the ideal place to curl up and the large structure is ideal for children to play inside. The same bulbous aesthetic can be referenced in a playground's lights as lamp shades that give off a hazy and ambient rose glow.
