Park Furniture
Product Design
After spending a few weeks in the parks of Montreal doing field research, the most notable problem observed was the damage to the picnic tables. From burned wooden tables to melted plastic ones, the damage caused by portable barbecues was greatly underestimated when these tables were installed. The following solutions are conceived to reduce this type of damage while still encouraging barbecuing in the park.
.
PICNIC TABLE
Made of wood and concrete, a table which can accommodate a portable barbecue on it's concrete portion. It reduces damage to the wood while leaving the seated portion of the table cleared for the users to better enjoy their meal.
.
BBQ SYSTEM
Modular concrete barbecue to encourage group and community meals and keep the tables free of portable barbecues. Uses an integrated, pay-per-use, grill system.
