Standard Bench
A Design Approach that Lives Beyond the Human
The inclusive approach extends beyond use and manufacturing and into the human experience. The Standard Bench embraces the unpredictable nature of life and makes it a strength by utilizing a knock-down system. The components are strong and robust; yet are capable of deconstruction or replacement, when necessary.
Project Information
Project Type: Product Design
Partner(s): Mark Millhollon
Democratic Design
Built for Life
Source Reduction
Process
The Standard Bench uses an inclusive design process to balance human needs, logistics, and environmental stewardship.
The construction and corresponding character of the bench is derived from use of common dimensional lumber. Implementing this easily-sourced material, with minimal modification, helps reduce manufacturing waste and transportation inefficiencies.
