Mutualism

公共座椅之通用性與造形對環境有著決定性的影響，除關乎使用者的舒適性外也潛在地扮演人流引導之角色，左右該空間的使用效率及安全性。「共生」的彎曲外型、多重高度椅面與可重組性為使用者提供近乎無限可能的應用體驗。特殊角度的彎曲在各使用者間達到了獨享與共享的完美平衡，重新排列組合各部件單體，多變的曲折線條更創造了玩趣的視覺意象。

The universality and form of public benches have a decisive influence on whether one feels comfortable in this environment, and even possibly serve as the role of crowd orientation affecting the efficiency and safety of the space using. Mutualism’s curved form, multiple heights surface, and reconfigurability work together to give users an almost infinite application experience. Curves invisibly provide a harmonious balance between isolated and connected relationships, depending on the intention of each person using the bench. Also, the direction of each module can give the impression of playful lines, both independent and overlayed images can be created.

兼顧實用與外型，「共生」的連續性高度變化消除了功能間之界限，在各場域中適恰地符合矮凳、座椅及高腳椅等需求。而連結各高度間的斜面也帶來實驗性的使用可能，可彈性地作為靠背、扶手或更多應用方式。座位下方保有纖細外觀卻不失支撐性的骨架結構，使其得以在保持極簡的前提下達到重新組合的可能。於此，公共座椅不再僅局限於乘坐目的，更有了活化空間的責任與能力。

Usable and appearance-neutral, the continuous form of Mutualism’s multiple heights surface eliminates the boundary between the functionalities – conforming perfectly to the usage of the bench, chair, and stool to provide a dynamic application in various scenarios. Furthermore, slopes connecting surface from the surface open up possibilities for experimentation, come with accessories such as backrests and armrest. The thin but strong frame feels nearly non-existent and offers support while being simplified so that users can randomly reorganize each module. Therefore, benches are no longer just set for sit purpose but have the responsibility and ability to activate the environment.
