Lunch time

Here is an example of how industrial design can impact the public right-of-way. A specially-designed lunch sack—created by Alexandra Pulver—can attach to most any fence and be transformed into a seat. As a result, the pedestrian becomes a stationary street user, potentially increasing the vitality of the space by introducing not only a new use but a new time scale. From Pulver:
“I am exploring how nontraditional public spaces—like sidewalks—might be easily transformed into lively places to lunch. I hope that my efforts might inspire even a handful of my fellow urbanites to reconsider the potential for lunch—to be a joyful daily event—and for the sidewalks...to serve as more than just pathways."
