La adaptacion que fué hecha para otro uso (fuera del asiento en los camiones publicos) representa para algunos Mexicanos una pieza artistica, propia de su mera cultura.

More ideas for you to explore:
stackable possibility
double bench
triple bench
benches that can be bolted to the floor so they can work as urban pieces all around the city
maybe some simple padding on the seat for extra coomfort
congratulations iIt is great to see people with lots of creativity (even to get paid) design works

Close... but still needs work. How so ? Rebend the 'armrest' part of the metal frame to be less angular and more rounded, so that arms can indeed rest comfortably on them ! This design is real close. A little bit of tweaking could take it over the top. Also: What about plastic, or rubber, floor glide tubing pieces wrapped around the bottom ? Intriguing. Close… but still needs work. How so ?
