- Abstract
- This project has been about understanding the public furniture market from a designers perspective and to develop a competitive design concept based on the needs of different stakeholders in the field of outdoor public products.
The research has been mainly in forms of interviews and observations with a focus on Stockholm as geographical scope. I chose to focus on one city as the structure and responsibilities of the Traffic Office in Malmö differs from Stockholm Traffic Office.

The research has been mainly in forms of interviews and observations with a focus on Stockholm as geographical scope. I chose to focus on one city as the structure and responsibilities of the Traffic Office in Malmö differs from Stockholm Traffic Office.
The interviews that has been conducted has been together with landscape architects and employees at the Stockholm City Traffic Office. These two groups are two main stakeholders of public furnishing as architects suggests the furniture in their presentations and the Traffic Office often has a final decision or has done the overall recommendations for public products.
The design process has been an simultaneous and overlapping process together with the research. Besides interviews the research was conducted through inspirational field trips to explore and observe the way public furnitures are used. For idea generation and design studies sketching and sketch modeling has been the main tools for ideation.
The final design is presented in illustrations, renderings and a full scale prototype in real materials. The prototype was built completely by the student alone with powder coating as the only service that was outsourced.
The final result is called Linked and is a modular outdoor furniture. Conclusions and demarcations are based on hands-on research meaning that the knowledge that is gathered is from different peoples professional opinions. With an emphasize on opinions this means of course not that all landscape architects or employees at the Traffic Office would agree with conclusions and findings in this project, and that the final result could have a different outcome if more interviews were made.
