Pit In by Japan's Store Muu Design Studio is a practical use of bicycle storage. Slot your bike into the table and use it as a stool. It might not be as space-saving as hanging it up, but this is certainly a novel approach to dual function. But sometimes all a design needs is a single function, such as Ivanka's Seeyou concrete gravestone that serves as a concrete, yet spiritual reminder of those departed, working in tandem with nature to provide a lasting and peaceful setting. And at the other end of the visual and/or material spectrum is Tord Boontje's Crystal Ice furniture for Swarovski that made an appearance at Euroluce, just across from SaloneSatellite.

The grave is beautiful. I do question as to why one would want to add even more cement to a cemetery, it doesn't seem very responsible.
I am an avid cyclist and mountain biker and if you sit on that saddle for eight hours every day you will have serious bottom/back problems. The idea for me is at least a waste of wood. Very poor concept.
With all due respect to SSA, he/she is completely wrong. Avid cyclist/mountain bikes probably have some of the least comfortable seats in the world, whereas the likely target for this product would probably be urban settings where cruisers or similar bikes (typically having heavy, comfortable seats) would be more the norm.
I envision a long set of these somewhere on the exterior wall of a bar. Walking patrons can just walk up and order, but if you have a bike you can move in and take a seat. Genius.
