“As High As Best” is a hanging, free-swinging seat.The stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 30 millimeters is bent into an angular U and powder-coated in black, and a static rope is pulled through the tube. It turns the habit of improvised sitting in public space into a specific and dynamic form. The pipe serves as both seat and handhold. Considering building material regulations and the nature of places where stay is temporary (such as bus stops, playgrounds, or trams), the swinging structure reverses the relationship of function and norm, tilting it in favor of playfulness. It thus rises above categorization – “As High As Best.”
