Project Statement
“Modular Works” is a four part bench installation with four modular seats including five varying heights. With these varying settings, “Modular Works” works for everyone, with the versatility of being a standing desk or a short bench. It uses the modular movement of the benches to encourage users to interact with each other as well as share information. This is made possible by allowing people to freely deface the benches which are covered in a whiteboard chalk spray so their designs can be viewed by all.
