Connection between two or more people. The thought was to develop a product that encourages people to have interactions with each other while still having fun. Be it on a first date or out with friends or family. The product welcomes everyone, but especially adults and young adults that are missing a place to relax, without doing physical activity or paying money for the use of the product. The seats are moving and swinging, they are supposed to be playful and encourage people to have fun at any age. Outside bench with focus on fun activity. In our previous surveys, we asked people what they like to do when they hang out with friends and a lot of their answers summarized that going out, is a very common activity combined with playing games. Although making 2 products was a bit ambitious for the timeframe, we wanted a product that can be used both alone and in pairs but to still have the fun function in it. We took the classical park bench and the playground products for kids as inspiration for our idea. In conversation with the municipalities, it was stated that the bench should be placed in an open area, mostly centred and where there is a possibility to have a sitting place, since a lot of people go out in the park when there is nice weather. Our bench is specifically designed to be used by either 1 or 2 people. The seats are designed to fit both children and adults in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The seats are made from varnished spruce wood and the mechanism in metal.
