We’ve seen street-side seat installation projects before, but this is a nice riff on the idea. When not in use, the seat is rotated upwards to act as a sign informing passerby of its potential use. Created by Ken Mori.

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”!
