We’d almost say that this is a publicity stunt for Ikea, which has been known to furnish bus shelters and, even, subway cars to promote new stores. However, the Ikea set ups tend to be far more elaborate and the chair on the left in this photo looks a little too beaten down to be part of an Ikea set up. Therefore, we return to the mystery of this scene captured by GL reader and blogger Heather D (but, not Miss Heather) at Fifth Avenue and Union Street. She sent it to us as a “street couch,” for our running series, but it’s soooo much more than that. Imagine what kind of design someone could do with the new, glassy “street furniture” shelters.
