Didn't you notice that most part of our lives are meant to obey the Murphy's Law? For example, the desire to have a refreshing walk in the park comes mainly after a rainstorm when the benches are wet. Everything feels more pleasurable than usually: fresher air, brighter sights, greener trees, clearer sky, cleaner pathways... everything calls for you but the soggy benches!
If you ever though of this then know - you are not alone in the Universe. More than that, there are people who decided to do something about it.
Korean designers Sungwoo Park, Yoonha Paick, Jongdeuk Son, Banseok Yoon, Eunbi Cho and Minjung Sim have come up with a really innovative solution to the problem. Call it as they do The Rolling Bench!
What is this all about? The Rolling Bench looks like an ordinary bench with the exception of a winding handle. You can find it on the right side of the bench. The handle rotates the seat surface to expose the dry/clean one. So, after a rain shower, just turn the winding handle and, please, have a sit!
So far so good, but some may say: in order to have such benches we have to give up the idea of backrests. Well, didn't I tell you about the Murphy's Law at the beginning of this post? Besides, you can only pray that there is enough time between the rain "sessions" so that the bench can get dry in time.
I wonder would England and Ecuadorian countries accept the concept of the Rolling Bench? :) Maybe just in case the seat surface is made of plastic, or some material that retains no moisture.
