Särkijärvi, Gabriel2013-02-182013-02-182013-02-18http://hdl.handle.net/2077/32257The aim of this project was to design a furniture that raises thoughts and curiosity about how to relate to people you share furniture with. Luova, a changing piece of furniture for public spaces is a bench where the user can choose the degree of social interaction. Furniture for public spaces has a diverse audience ranging from children to adults. Some come alone, others in group. Some are sitting down for a short time while others stay for longer. Some are just waiting, others are reading their news paper. Luovas variability creates, in addition to various forms of aesthetic expression, access to a variety of ways to socialize. When Luova is left blank, it tells a story of its past visitors.sweFurniturepublicbenchsocialinteractionText
