Inspired by visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, the studio of New York-based artists and designers Dan Golden and Jen Huh have developed a new concept for public seating.

The design could complement grand museum spaces while remaining inviting to the people who visit them on a daily basis

With characteristic conceptual design that takes familiar forms and revives them with a sense of both humor and modernity, the design is intended to complement the world’s grandest museums and galleries. See the designers’ concept sketches and renderings and read more about their studio below:
