There's nothing wrong with this bench; it simply defies convention. It's a design by Swedish designer Martin Nicolauson (with Tom Eriksson) which uses the see-saw principle to facilitate conversation between strangers. Nicolauson points out, quite rightly, that ‘This bench requires cooperation to be functional.’
