The Waving Bench is an interactive, multi-functional urban furniture inspired by Hawaiian beach waves, designed to add dynamism to everyday city life. It features a set of continuously merging dynamic curves, from the bench to the ground deck, creating various ergonomic pockets for leisure activities.

These pockets encourage users to find their most comfortable seating positions. Notably, the design's interactive nature stimulates spontaneous dialogues, fostering community interaction. This design seamlessly and softly transitions from a bench to a ground deck, reflecting a harmonious blend of aesthetics and utility.
