Check out these weird and unusual benches, from the pencil bench to a
nail bench and even a newspaper bench! Very creative architecture.
Pencil Bench

The seat is made up of 1,600 pencils which are individually sprung. Each pencil
can be removed and used. Design by Boex 3D Creative Solutions.
Book Bench

The “Shelves with a Bench” was designed by Stanislav Katz, a designer from
Latvia.
Spaghetti Bench

Beautiful bench designed by Pablo Reinoso from Argentina. It's at Carpenters.
Wolfgang Keyboard Bench

The Wolfgang keyboard bench is made up of 2,000 keys imbedded into a layered
Baltic birch wood. Each key is pressable and actually makes a clicking sound
when pressed. The tactile effect of the bench also makes a playful interaction
with the bench because you engage with the piece of furniture in a very up close
and intimate manner while pressing in the keys.
Tennis Ball Bench

Dutch designers Tejo Remy and René VeenHuizen created these unusual benches out
of tennis balls!
Union Bench

The union bench product is a contemporary seating design that significantly
enhances the public and urban experience. With Union it is self-chosen,
depending on the state of mind, whether one wants to interact with other or to
be on its own. Design by “I do design”.
Pillow Bench

This furniture was created by an experimental and independent designers group
called The Mighty Bearcats in Chicago for the 2010 NeoCon.
Ondine Bench

Benches with futuristic designs by Michael Bihain and Cédric Callewaert.
Letter Bench

Located at a hospital in Bristol, this bench is a folded postcard inspired on an
actual letter sent by a patient. The idea is to reassure new patients about the
experience they will have during their stay.
Solar Bench

This is a new approach of thinking about what a bench is. While playing the
traditional role, this bench becomes a WIFI hot-spot and night-lighting with the
thin-film solar battery. Moreover, it is made out of aluminum and recycled
plastic regard of eco-issue.
Muungano Bench

Creative bench designed by Peter Thuvander for the Conceptual Design Exhibition
at the National Gallery in Stockholm. It pays homage to the typography industry
and also comments “on differences as a foundation for language and form.” Is a
laser cut bench that forms the word “muungano” which means union. A tag melted
into an bench that dominates the room and with a strong visual impact.
Treetrunk Bench

Old nature meets next nature in the design by Jurgen Bey.
Ribs Bench

Contemporary bench designed by Stefan Lie from Sydney, Australia.
Nail Bench

The artist Jay-Hyo Lee creates beautiful and pleasing benches from old nails
that are hammered into the surface of natural wood. These nails are then bent to
create patterns that evoke the ripples of water or currents of air. Once the
hammering and designing job is complete, the artist grinds the nails, exposing
raw silver metal to make sure that not even one nail is in a wrong position.
Newspapers Bench

It's not uncommon to have a stack of newspapers sitting around; but it took the
ingenuity of designer Charles Kaisin to turn a pile of old news into durable
bench.
