Designed for Erik Jørgensen, Louise Campbell created this [indoor playground furniture piece for two](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bench-for-two). Like the popular piece of playground equipment, this [upholstered furniture piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster) challenges a pair to be perfectly balanced. In doing so, the [playful furniture design encourages interaction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-bench1), communication and teamwork. Although it probably wouldn't phase young kids in the slightest, for adults, Seesaw has the potential to be awkward to sit on alone or with someone else—but it's a fun way to make a connection and strike up a conversation with an old friend or even somebody new.

Available in a wide range of colors including the primaries like red and yellow, this playful furniture piece definitely commands the room with its large, unusual and playfully inviting shape.
