Paving paradise for a place to sit. That’s what’s going on here. A project from Springtime that saves a seat for your own booty in a play on the culture-cemented idea of a parking space. Part of a design competition that aimed to give a parking space back to the public. “Person Parking” seems to be made for a low-traffic area in a strip mall district, don’t you think?
Text from Springtime:
Duepercinque is a design competition part of the Public Design Festival in Milan. The mission: develop a creative solution for a parking spot of 2×5 meter (due per cinque), returning it to the public domain in a positive way.
I wouldn’t be the guy sitting on the street side of this block, that’s for dang sure. I’d like to see a couch made with this same aesthetic. Maybe minus the cement part.

Black? I can only imagine how hot that gets, say around 3pm?
very clever
I want this in my town.
i like it .
but i think this is a chair or bench.
low traffic area? where? who takes liability for the accidents? there is already a small cottage industry called street furniture. this includes things like benches. these are often found in pedestrianised areas including parks. clean and safe areas to relax away from noise, traffic and being mashed up by a bus…!
Though contains a funny look, its really helpful for travellers
