Kajen Bench by Thomas Bernstrand

Swedish designer Thomas Bernstrand has a variety of street furniture choices in his back pocket, but his “Kajen” bench—now on display throughout Sweden—comes complete with a matching footrest, not the norm in street benches. Known for his high backs (other benches of his design have even greater verticality), Bernstrand offers a different shape for the street.
