POP UP by Carmela Bogman and Rogier Martens
This creative design of table and bench was made by Carmela Bogman and Rogier Martens. It is a furniture set that is placed in a public space, called POP UP. This furniture blurs the boundaries between public and private.

The idea is to make furniture that can be placed in a public space without reduce the area. The design provides a set of furniture that can be “pumped up” when it is used and can be “pumped out” and make it disappear when it is not used. The users also have freedom whether to make them as bench or table, by changing the height of the POP UP. Thanks to the hydraulic system that provides the ability to be pumped out and pumped up.

POP UP on uses
The Pop-Up is made out of three retractable bollards. On the bollards aluminum sheets are attached that can be manually pumped out of the pavement. Several access panels are spread among the neighborhood to give a access to the users. These panels control the pumping system.
the installation
The first POP UP was installed in the quarter Lombok in the city of Utrecht, The Netherlands.
