# Rectifying Seat Sculptures The Pebro Bench Turns Into a Piece of Art When No One Sits On It By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-11-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebro-bench References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/pebro-bench-turns-ordinary-furniture-into-a-piece-of-art/) & [cellule.ch](http://www.cellule.ch/nav.php?goto=events) Design company Cellule GmbH has created a unique piece of functional art called the Pebro Bench. The Pebro Bench is a form of [public seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pul-collection) that becomes a [sculpture when unoccupied](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-furniture). When no one is sitting on it, the Pebro Bench rises on its own, from one side, to become what The Design Blog calls “an elegant structure." It's perfect for [parks and other public places](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/us-her-him). The user just has to pull the Pebro Bench back down in order to sit on it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Functional Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create functional products that serve a practical purpose while also being artistic and visually appealing. - **Interactive Seating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop seating solutions that dynamically transform or respond to user interaction to enhance user experience and engagement. - **Transformative Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore design concepts that can transition from one form or state to another, creating multi-functional and versatile products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate artistic elements into furniture design to elevate aesthetics and create more engaging user experiences. - **Public Space Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine public space design by incorporating interactive seating solutions that add an element of surprise and visual interest. - **Art Installation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine functionality with art to create installations that serve practical purposes while delivering an artistic and captivating experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md) - [Sculptural Gravity Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-bench.md) - [Recycled Resin Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cresta.md) - [Elegantly Airy Outdoor Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-bench.md) - [Bold Motion Bench Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelbench-krllermller-edition.md) - [Adaptive Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adp-bench.md) - [Sculptural Seating Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rondin.md) - [Dual-Seated Plate Aluminum Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/move-a-little-bit-further.md) - [Kinetic Musical Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musical-bench.md)
