Test Benches - Salon 21S

in Saint-Étienne
Open Today

  • Ah but in Saint-Étienne, benches are not just for sitting on. The Bancs d’Essai (Test Benches) scheme offers more curious passers-by the chance to take part in a life-size test. They – you – can try out the latest in urban furniture created by artists and designers from all over the world.

  • Ever imagined transposing your living room into the public space? Well, they've done it on Place Jean Jaurès - with a bench that corresponds to your sofa, 2 seats that correspond to your armchairs and a coffee table. All that's missing is the television and the games console... plus this is in the open-air, on one of the busiest squares in Saint-Étienne.
