דניאל פרלמן –   Daniel Pearlman has developped an interesting Flip Bench. Yes, that’s my name for it. he calls it an Interactive Outdoor Bench:

The concept of this outdoor bench derives from research based on communication and non – communication between people behavior on public benches. My wish was to create an outdoor bench that could combine or separate its users and to make an interactive outdoor piece of furniture that fit into its surrounding enviroment that will attract inhabitants to “play” and try it.
And through this interaction it opens new possibilities of communication.

For use inside there is a laminated wood version with aluminum connectors. Nice!
