CITY COMFORT – STREET FURNITURE DESIGN

Editorial reflection

We are delighted to present the results of City Comforts – Street Furniture Design, a global competition celebrating creativity and innovation in urban design.
Street furniture shapes the character and experience of our cities, providing comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. This competition challenged designers to rethink everyday elements—benches, shelters, lighting, and more—pushing the boundaries of form, sustainability, and social engagement.
The entries we received showcase inspiring ideas and visions for more vibrant, livable, and human-centered cities. We congratulate all participants for their creativity and contribution to the future of urban spaces.
