Bench Go Round is just what it sounds like, a cross between a park bench and a merry-go-round. Friends or strangers can spin gently or energetically, cooperating in a simple, fun, no-stress interaction that hearkens back to childhood and everyone’s favorite playground game. The bench is also a lovely sculptural form, rewarding the eye when empty, with fluctuating colors that give an iridescent impression when the bench spins.
