RE: Furniture and Seating in Public Spaces

in Architecture+Design ā€¢ 2 years ago (edited)

šŸ˜ƒThank you @storiesoferne.
If those pieces said ā€œthanksā€, I would have responded with a quick ā€œYouā€™re welcomeā€ and ā€œYou deserve itā€. Thereā€™d however be no guarantee that Iā€™d sit in those seats again. šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚
Iā€™d be wondering what else has talking capabilitiesā€¦walls? I probably should even check out the full capabilities of those Mamaro boxes. Lol!

Youā€™re right re the backrests on furniture in public spaces like malls. If customers are too comfortable, they may spend less.

Those Mamaro boxes are remarkably impressive, truly reflecting Japan's ingenuity in design innovation. Are they common public features in many shopping centers in that country?

Theyā€™re really neat. Impressive indeed. You know I just saw them in my local area and out of curiosity, just checked them out.
As Iā€™m without a baby or toddler, I didnā€™t want to overspend my time there so thought Iā€™d check the internet for more information. I then realized that those ā€œlittleā€ boxes were one of Japanā€™s solution to the problem of inadequate feeding rooms. Apparently several of them were installed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021).
Iā€™ve only seen them at one location. Now that I know what they really are, Iā€™ll be on the look out for them. Lol
My guess is that there are more in areas of Tokyo. It seems the plan is to eventually get them to more areas across Japan.

Thanks for your question. Have a wonderful day. šŸŽ¶

Well, you'll never know. With the rapid evolution of AI, furniture might be able to converse back to you someday, haha šŸ¤£ In fact nowadays, some so-called "intelligent houses" already integrate the interactive capabilities to engage with their owners such as robotic appliances, smart windows, and perhaps talking walls. šŸ˜Š

Thank you for adding valuable information on those Mamaro boxes. Have a productive, healthy, and joyous 2023 @fruityfruitz! šŸ‘šŸ™

šŸ˜†Haha! So true. Maybe itā€™s already a reality and one I may need to eventually embrace. Most furniture and walls Iā€™ve come across so far arenā€™t smart or intelligent (this doesnā€™t sound right) but functional.

Thank you for adding valuable information on those Mamaro boxes.

Thank you for providing the platform and opportunity for me to do so. I appreciate it and also appreciate the response to the post.

Have a productive, healthy, and joyous 2023 @fruityfruitz!

šŸ˜ƒThank you. I wish you the same.
