By designing a piece of furniture for the public space, a place is created where culture and reading come together and residents are encouraged to linger – a place to meet, but also to retreat. The “LESEBANK.2024” is designed as a modular system so that it can be adapted to different locations and used as an event venue at the same time. It appears as a medium of the Capital of Culture and becomes a symbol for the region.
The piece of furniture aims to contribute to the cultivation of reading and the experience of culture in public spaces and to leave a lasting mark on a location. Reading benches will remain in the region after the end of the Capital of Culture year.
