Ecto Bench

Role: Co-designer with Anders Christiansen & Minna Ala-Jaaski

Location: Lisbon

Commissioned for the architecture and design biennial Experimenta Design 2009 in Lisbon, the piece was an urban bench prototype with interactive color characteristics. 

The bench is an indicator of activity in the urbanscape, registering activity and change in its color. The bench was finished with a thermochromic paint layer which would become transparent with heat and touch, revealing the hidden second layer of color. The bench was fabricated using digital fabrication and water jet cutting.
