The initial research phase included Internet
research to see examples of creative work of
Sit+Store furnitures, research on seating
furnitures, research on ergonomics (Metric
Handbook) and doing some sketches for the
design ideas.
The first 2 examples was offering clear store
areas while the last 2 examples was more
appropriate for long time seating. Finally, I
decided to develop someting completely
different than the examples I saw; a furniture
that has a clear store area while offering a
comfortable seat for long times.

My inspiration for this project is park benches. I like sitting or reading on bench so much
because it’s comfortable, invite people to sit and read. Bench is also suitable for 2-3
people to sit together and socialize.

I decided to create a bookshelf that looks like a
bench, encourage people to sit and read,
comfortable and suitable to sit long hours.
I tried to design a simple, creative and
comfortable sit+store unit. It’s composed from
a bench unit and shelves and it’s look like a
park bench when you look from front.
When it’s fully outside, the bench can offer a
comfortable sitting area with horizontal
shelves above. The bench unit is moveable, it
saves from space when out of use.

The Bench
This is a moveable module
on lockable wheels that
serves both as bench and
bookshelf. It’s made from
wood slats, easy to move,
lightweighted and has curves
on sitting area to enhance
ergonomy. It can easily be
moved in and out.
