That’s creative! Public place means anything other than private property so the place little changes the way you perceive your own place, Music in public place somewhat change your test because you start trying to find interest in that particular music even though you’ve never liked it.

good idea, original…
the problem is only if you have a couples of these on a square,
with diferent mobile phones,
one plays opera, the other hard rock…
is going to be a musical mess, to say the least

the bench was but as one of the projects of Urban Play for 6 weeks and has already been taken away.
Droog design organised the whole event, but so far they weren’t interested into making the bench a product. It is just a prototype.

exactly rebecca, thats what we need! if we’re getting more workless people, they need spaces to hang around. Now everybody in this area wants to have an bluetooth mobilephone, $ and a lot of music, $… a perfect bench to get our economy back on their feets.
What the hell is the relation between a bench and the problems of our economy?
by the way, are they selling it? or is it just one unique bench?

It’s fun! I want one.

Dear Rebecca!
what’s your point?
The core statement that i can read out of your comment is that you are afraid of the economic crises. Well, we all are!
This project has been started before anyone even thought about an economic crisis and it costa fraction of what many people lost for instance in iceland, but my point is that this thing has ben used mainly by teenagers from socialy weak backgrounds that are anyhow on the street and are already not well thought off. But they simply got no place to go! On the other hand it was also used by not only them, but just average people on there way to or from work. I have seen the “annoying” teenagers explain the passer by how to work that thing.
If you say, we don’t need to see 16 year olds on MTV getting two Landrovers for their birthday i agree. But this was a project that was supposed to bring people together. So do you want to tighten up and be all afraid? Its probably going to get worse economically, so everybody will have to think more social and care about their neighboors. Urban play was like that..

Cool idea for music fans, But how to control the sound pollution to others?

I hope my iPhone could be bluetooth-enabled too.
