The bench used some 1,400 cosmetics containers, emphasizing the importance of creative upcycling and environmental protection.

Radio-B, an eco-friendly design studio, came up with an interesting idea for the bench to encourage social distancing by affixing a 50-centimeter-wide flower pot to the middle of the bench, and leaving a 1-meter distance mark where people are supposed to sit.
