As part of the Sculpture course, second-year students in the Unique Design programme at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana, conceived a placement that leans on existing street furniture. Dynamically programmed lighting allows for constantly changing visual effect of the patterns used and, consequently, of the placement itself. The project stems from a reflection on the function of light as a formative and conceptual tool, as well as on the possibilities of designing elements of shared public space in a different manner. Despite their utilitarian uniformity, the use and experience of the latter are distinctly subjective in nature. Vividly painted bin, bench and street light create an atmosphere of temporary refuge, a miniature oasis of rest, the shifting colour palette of which generates an unexpected urban experience. According to the participants, the project allows for the coexistence of various images, thereby highlighting the fact that diversity is primarily a matter of perception.
