Well I'm on site, and I haven't a clue. Is this up at Sihlcity BTW - haven't been there yet
mmmm.... they're so cooool!!!
Maybe they're benchs? seats? I don't think so...
Bench or maybe something to do with bikes?
I have no clues. Obviously not a seat as you would fall on your butt sitting on the one in the foreground. Must be something else.
I got to fly last night. I mean I just dove in and flew. You can find out how on my blog post today.
to stop cars from going through??
To prevent cars from parking there?
Love that neon green color ;-)
I have three ideas.
Catapults for shoplifters to lay on and be pinged off.
Knowing the Swiss as i do, it's an urban exercise point. From stretching to bouncing, it's an alternative to the assault courses you find in the woods. To encourage the Swiss to keep fit even whilst shopping!
It's a puzzle. The pieces fit together to make a circle and you have to work it out. The urban, office teambuilding thing. Never idle, the Swiss.
Hmm tricky...
1. for people to rest...on their stomach with hands swinging on the sides:)
2. The logo for a new store/company, they made it this big to get attention and advertise the opening...
What a hoot! I laughed out loud reading people's guesses! I am really enjoying your blog.
