REBAR "BUSHWAFFLE"


'BUSHWAFFLE'

While in San Francisco I visited a studio named Rebar, quite renowned for their art activism. One project that really charmed me was the Bushwaffle, what a great project to improve public spaces across the globe. The Bushwaffles are playful personal inflatables that transform the urban surface from hard to soft, impersonal to intimate. The Bushwaffle invites new forms of social interaction, collaboration, improvisation and play. They are basically a public amenity designed to supplement the urban hardscape with a soft, inviting alternative for seating, structure, socializing – and pleasure.
