With all the impressive architecture being conceived and created, it’s also important to think of its surroundings or, as I like to think of it, the city's furniture; take this Nero bench for instance.
Designed by Louisa Köber and Lara Salzmann, students at ABK Stuttgart, the Nero bench is more like a sculptural art piece than a piece of furniture. Although only a concept, cities need more ideas like this.
