Re: Unusual Park Bench Installation

[ Edited ]

I guess it's decorative, in its way, though I don't find in particularly appealinng... As was noted, no shade and not sure I'd want to sit with as many other people as that series of benches would accommodate... The grass doesn't look like turf that won't grow, so as was also noted, keeping it trimmed would be a nuisance.... I'm more or less neutral on this one, though I can't really say I see the point...

Unusual. However, if I could lay down on one of the benches, I doubt I could back up.

Re: Unusual Park Bench Installation

My initial reaction is negative, and am trying to figure out why.  First, let's see-- it's too serpentine, or something.  I don't like all those lines converging toward one center, especially in a restful park setting...  I would feel like I was being subtly guided too much.

 

It's too "communal" maybe.  Wouldn't want to be that close to other people on benches.  Like to be able to see other people in a park, enjoying themselves, but not forcibly 'squinched' into close proximity, ha.

I don't think this is comfortable at all. I like plain park benches. Just feels odd or something..

Re: Unusual Park Bench Installation

It's definitely unique.  I like the concept but I would also prefer a back rest.  It also would be a pain for the park employees to mow and trim around.  I noticed tall grass in a couple of pictures.

From a distance, it looks like a giant piece of sea coral washed up. Interesting to the eye, but very impractical for seating any but children and young adults.
