Inspiration: bus shelter swing



This is a neat video, made by Bruno Taylor for his masters at Central Saint Martins for industrial design. The whole point is to add play to public spaces, and to use industrial objects to create fun in people's lives. It's sort of similar to what we are doing with our bus house, except instead of installing a swing (which would totally crush it, seeing as the shelter only has three load bearing pillars and is probably not strong enough to support the weight of a person), we are providing comfortable and snazzy home decor.

Another project Bruno is working on is a bouncing bench, which definitely sounds more exciting than a regular, static bench does. His website can be found here.
