In this project focussed on non-human centered design my group proposed an art installation composed of a seating group that invites humans to an eye-level conversation with non-humans. This should spark a discussion about humans being a part of nature instead of separate from it. Such thinking is important because cities and the green spaces within them consistently favor the same types of plants and animals. Consequently, cities are not very biodiverse and some species cannot exist in cities. Urban wildlife should have the opportunity to reclaim space.

Additionally, this art installation constitutes an actual effort to increase biodiversity in cities.

Each furniture piece provides shelter and food for certain animals: The nesting couch is entirely composed of hedges and provides hiding/nesting sports as well as a food source for birds. The pollinator chair hosts several colourful flowers attractive to butterflies, bumblebees and bees. The plants were selected with their flowering times in mind, ensuring that the chair is in bloom for several months. The selection fell on french lavender, milkweed, lilac and European honeysuckle. Its arm rests are made of bark and  could host insects. The back of the chair contains several holes to house bees in.
