via designws.comMobilier urbain. Rien que la dénomination effraie. Alors que sous fond de grande valse des départs en vacances les bancs et chaises des parcs et jardins vont être pris d'assaut par les citadins en mal de verdure, il se pose une question cruciale : les nouveaux bancs public seront-ils confortables? Mal au dos, cul en compote... y rester longtemps relève du masochisme. Et puis il faut avouer que si les anciens bancs tiennent toujours la route côté look et confort, les récents ajouts de mobilier urbain, eux, ne sont pas des plus élégants. Cependant, vu le récent lifting par Jean Nouvel du parc del Centre del Plobenou à Barcelone (ci-dessus), la donne pourrait changer... lentement... En attendant, je reste agglutiné à mes uniques favoris : ceux du Luxembourg (disponibles dans de nouvelles versions au Conran Shop et chez Fermob).
Urban furnishing. This is something terrible. Don't you hate those ugly and uncomfortable benches and public garden chairs you're sitting on? The problem is : August is quickly coming, and while about half of parisians will be on vacation somewhere in south of France, urban dwellers in need of greenery will be in search of the perfect public bench. If we still attached to the old 19th century benches, it's definitely time for a change... and maybe famous designers could provide that, like Jean Nouvel rencently did for the park del Centre del Plobenou (pictured above) in Barcelona's new up-and-coming neighborhood. The deal could change...slowly... so we'll have to be patient. In the meantime, I remain sitted on my unique favorites : those in the Luxembourg gardens (available in new designs and colors at the Conran Shop and by Fermob).
