In the world of urban furniture design, few pieces capture the spirit of connection quite like the Hoop bench by Studio Juju. At once playful and poised, it proves that public seating can be both functional and full of feeling. Its curved geometry invites gathering, a simple form that naturally brings people together.

Created for Singapore Design Week’s Open Design Dialogue, Hoop transforms the everyday bench into a meeting point, one defined not by structure but by connection. The gentle sweep of its frame, punctuated by vivid color, offers a visual cue for pause, conversation, and creativity.

Perfect for plazas, student centers, or creative campuses, it turns everyday sitting into a social act. Like other works of thoughtful urban furniture design, Hoop balances durability with delight, proving that utility need not dull the imagination.
