Copenhagen-based architectural office MAPT is behind the concept and development of the first interactive bench; one that invites you to play, move and experience the urban space in a dynamic way. The bench that changes color and pattern as people pass by has sprung up in Copenhagen’s “Islands Brygge.” The design became possible with the collaboration with designer Sune Petersen.

Danish architects MAPT shared with us this VIP box they recently designed inside the Horsens Stadium, including a climbing wall, a bar, tables and kitchen. All the furniture was designed and fabricated specially for this room, looking to be functional and sculptural at the same time.

The same values form the basis for the framework of the North Harbour Exhibition. The sustainable container-pavilion has been developed by the architect’s office MAPT in collaboration with the City of Copenhagen.
