Book synopsis

Urban furniture groups together the elements and systems installed in the public space, offering different services and functions to users. Today, within its richly varied typology one finds seating and waste bins, lighting and means of information and communication, as well as fountains, playground apparatus, signage systems, bike racks, road signs and plant containers, shelters and other types of protection. In bringing together 400 objects and projects and illustrating them, this book doesnżt see itself as exhaustive but as prospective ż a panorama of contemporary creation in this field, showing the most recent and innovative aspects. The relevance of the design of this type of furniture, whether it is formal, aesthetic, functional, or even playful, cannot be ignored at a time when urban planning concerns us more and more, with demographers announcing that in 2026 84% of the population of industrialised countries will be living in the large cities!
