Urban plugins is a series of flexible urban furniture proposed for Beirut Souks after careful observation of people’s behaviors and needs. Modular extensions can be plugged to the existing planters and light poles forming different configurations.

Planter plugin

Due to the lack of benches in the area, a common behavior is observed where people rest on the planters edges causing a degradation of the vegetation.

The planter plugin is therefore a series of modules - bench, coffee table, book table, recycle bins - that can be assembled in different ways around the planter.

Light pole plugin

Using the electrical connections of the light pole, the plugins enhance the role of this urban furniture, offering under it benches to sit, power plugs to charge phones, and tables to eat or work.
