Guerilla Bench : Intervention to Intensify Neighbourly Relationships

Vacant lot
Urban furniture

A typical urban electrical box which keeps a secret, which no one will conquer thanks to it's urban mimicry. But when you know the secret you can open and unfold the box. The box turns to an cozy street bench, almost like a beach chair. A guerrilla bench as an offer to chat and organize your community. And nothing can be nicer for the urban neighborhood than a place to meet. Especially in cities where street furniture is taken away or doesn't exist at all. The people who pass will be entertained with amazement when they see something boring like an dirty electric box transform into a nice and comfortable wooden bench. Turn your sidewalk in a vivid living room by using this guerrilla bench!
