Seating Cap

Street Artist Posterchild has been adding his “Seating Caps” to pipes around Chinatown in Toronto. He explains:

These pipes- as pokey, uncomfortable, and rough as they are- have long ago been reimagined as benches, repurposed as public seating on a street that has none.

I just made them more comfy!

I call it a “Seating Cap”!

    Posterchild is based in Toronto, ON, Canada. This is being done on Dundas St. in Toronto, ON, Canada not in New York.

    this is something great that could be done almost anywhere….maybe we could do this like a sort of seat(ing) day???

    That’s a riser for a natural gas service, and it looks like it’s active. You shouldn’t put any extra stress on it, unless you like the idea of causing a fracture and leaking flammable gas into the atmosphere.
