Dog-Shaped Public Seating

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Whippet Bench by Radi Designers is Made for Pet Lovers

— December 19, 2013 — Art & Design
The Whippet Bench looks as though it were modelled after a super speedy dog. Moving from one end to the other faster than a speeding bullet, the resulting blur is what makes up the seat itself. Of course, the Whippet Bench is not actually the result of a exceptional dog frozen in time. Instead, it is made out of solid resin that has been finished in a multitude of ways.

Designed by Radi Designers, a studio based in France, and currently sold by the furniture manufacturer Galerie Kreo, the Whippet Bench is comprised of 30 pieces limited edition pieces and five artist's proofs, all of which have been signed and numbered. It also comes in a couple of forms.
Trend Themes
1. Pet-inspired Furniture - Opportunity for creating innovative furniture designs that draw inspiration from pets, appealing to pet lovers and creating a unique selling proposition.
2. Limited Edition Design - Opportunity to tap into the market demand for limited edition products, providing exclusivity and creating a sense of uniqueness for consumers.
3. Alternative Materials in Furniture - Opportunity to explore the use of alternative materials like solid resin in furniture design, offering durability, versatility, and creative possibilities.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Potential for furniture manufacturers to collaborate with designers and create pet-inspired furniture pieces to cater to the growing pet ownership market.
2. Art and Collectibles - Opportunity for artists and collectors to showcase and sell limited edition art pieces, allowing them to tap into the demand for unique and exclusive items.
3. Materials and Resins - Opportunity for suppliers of alternative materials like solid resin to partner with furniture manufacturers, offering new possibilities and expanding their market reach.
