When we think of urban spaces, it’s often about efficiency. Beauty usually plays no role in the design so the Ondine Bench is a perculiar concept. The smooth organic shape can be created by combining identical modules and arranging them into a circle. They provide a fun way for people to sit - some higher, some lower. Its modular design should make it easy and cheap to manufacture while lifting the urban environment by instilling a sense of design and beauty. Most importantly, its design is adaptable, as the designers put it;

Ondine in the city
Ondine under a tree
Ondine on the grass
Ondine by the water
Ondine under the sun
Ondine in the garden
Ondine at home
