How can furniture promote human encounters in the public space? See 40 possible answers to this question in the garden of Designmuseum Danmark, where this year’s pieces of outdoor furniture designs interpret this social goal. 

The exhibition and concept were developed in a collaboration between exhibition architect and furniture designer Mads Kjædegaard and Stig L. Andersson, design director, founding partner of SLA. grundplan.dk sla.dk

A piece of furniture with curves, character and sharp elbows.
Irïs stands tall and proud. She is colourful, both inside and out, stands out from the background and attracts attention. 
Irïs’s skirts swing and sway as she brings one, two or more people back and forth in her arms, but Irïs also offers room and time for reflection and lingering in the moment by providing a sheltered, intimate space in her arms.
Irïs is a sturdily built woman who can handle all sorts of weather and has no problem being moved to somewhere else, but she also stands her ground, facilitating good connections with her cheerful mood. A lady who deserves to be embraced, enjoyed and seen. Irïs will earn anyone’s respect and always be remembered for providing a good experience.
