Don't Lay Here! [Part 2]




This is the #1 sneakiest don't-lay-here urban furniture I've ever seen. Very clever... These are the brand new benches behind the Boqueria market. With their creative human-body shape, they look fun and welcoming, and will be so for some people. But upon closer examination, they prevent anyone tired, non-conforming, or down-on-their-luck from laying down to rest. The metallic benches have a discreet vertical armrest between them, and the white ledges are slightly slanted both horizontally and also in the seat! So, if you were to try to lay down, you would roll off!
Bring a thick cushion!
