Athen’s new City Bench
Last year Athens, the capital of Greece, organized a design competition for a new city bench and a separate design competition for a future bench.
The winner of the city bench competition is the Mybench.gr by Aris Stathis.
Athen’s next step is to ask for donations of a bench to the city. Clever!
Yatser, the blog of Greek interior design blogger Costas Voyatzis drew my attention to these two contests first.
In the City Bench competition there were 100 contesting designs and in the Future Bench 50.
