Swedish architects TAF have designed the Pop Rivet Bench.
To celebrate the 2010 London Design Festival and mark the London launch of The Lollipop Shoppe, TAF were invited among 10 other furniture designers to create one of 10 public benches.
Pop Rivet is 3 pieces of aluminum sheets (front, back and the back rest) that are swept around the oval shaped aluminum seat. It is then drilled and put together with Pop rivets which is a very well-known and simple technique for put materials together. We think the technique is under estimated since it is really smart, functional and also brings a pattern to the product.
