snowbench
Inspired by an encounter with a snow covered park bench; the experience of disturbing the surface, leavings ones mark or discovering the trace of a previous presence. The Snowbench uses visco-elastic memory foam and diaphragm valves to retain the imprint of the user, documenting the physical interaction.
The bench becomes an icon of the object and situation that inspired it, evoking memories of an experience that contrasts with the present environment and context.
