Didier Faustino's Double Happiness Swing Set Will Catch Many Eyes

— February 19, 2011 — Marketing
Architect Didier Faustino’s Double Happiness is a billboard which was converted into a sky-high swing set. The piece is part of the Shenzhen Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism & Architecture.

I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t want to partake in swinging on this Double Happiness swing set that sits as high as a billboard. Meant to take people out of their superficial worlds and minds, this piece is meant to give the occupants and its patrons a sense of nature and all that surrounds us.
