My first reaction was, cool!, it looks like a giant bee house (just as Cheryl noted). I loved the scale and the neutral color; in a bright color it would have almost a pop art feel. Then my practical side took over—it looks incredibly uncomfortable to sit on, and I can’t imagine the number of creatures that would find lovely homes there. So as a focal point, I like it. Just make sure there is plenty of other seating available, too!

It sure has sparked some discussion…isn’t that what design should do…as for practicality…still not sure would have to try in person.

Hmmm. Hadn’t considered that.

I don’t know if they’re available here or not. Sorry.
