What a clever idea @fruityfruitz! Your post is certainly a smart way of showcasing furniture, especially the ones we usually overlook and take for granted on a daily basis. If these beautiful pieces were able to talk, they would have told you "Thank you" for the valuable attention you've given them, lol. 🤣 I personally love public seating with backrests but its downside is that mall-goers might be over-relaxed and wouldn't shop, dine, or entertain themselves anymore with the establishment's facilities - defeating its commercial purpose. On the other hand, seating without backrests could serve those with fast lifestyles, only providing quick breaks. 😊👍
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?
😃Thank you @storiesoferne.
If those pieces said “thanks”, I would have responded with a quick “You’re welcome” and “You deserve it”. There’d however be no guarantee that I’d sit in those seats again. 🤣😂
I’d be wondering what else has talking capabilities…walls? I probably should even check out the full capabilities of those Mamaro boxes. Lol!
You’re right re the backrests on furniture in public spaces like malls. If customers are too comfortable, they may spend less.
They’re really neat. Impressive indeed. You know I just saw them in my local area and out of curiosity, just checked them out.
As I’m without a baby or toddler, I didn’t want to overspend my time there so thought I’d check the internet for more information. I then realized that those “little” boxes were one of Japan’s solution to the problem of inadequate feeding rooms. Apparently several of them were installed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021).
I’ve only seen them at one location. Now that I know what they really are, I’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. 🎶
Well, you'll never know. With the rapid evolution of AI, furniture might be able to converse back to you someday, haha 🤣 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. 😊
Thank you for adding valuable information on those Mamaro boxes. Have a productive, healthy, and joyous 2023 @fruityfruitz! 👍🙏
😆Haha! So true. Maybe it’s already a reality and one I may need to eventually embrace. Most furniture and walls I’ve come across so far aren’t smart or intelligent (this doesn’t sound right) but functional.
Thank you for providing the platform and opportunity for me to do so. I appreciate it and also appreciate the response to the post.
😃Thank you. I wish you the same.
