DREAM VIEW BENCH


“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up"
Stephen Hawking

The Dream View Bench is an invitation to pause and daydream for a moment. The curvature of the bench makes us look at the sky in a restful position, allowing us to connect with the sky and let our thoughts flow freely. The bench (100 cm wide) allows us to look at the clouds and stars in the company of each-other and the chair (60 cm wide) invites for moments of self reflection.

Daydreaming is an inward focus and attention where the DMN (Default Mode Network) lights up in the brain while at rest (but is yet very active). It is a state for growth and learning, a restorative break which allows us to come up with new and better ideas, hopes and plans for the future.
