So last night was the series finale of LOST and I have found a perfect use for those Oceanic airplanes. Inhabitat.com recently posted about the ec-O benches, made from retired airplanes. These benches would give any outdoor living space an urban feel.
Inhabitat writes, “Architecture instructor Steven Ma developed an amazing concept bench that infuses nature into pedestrian traffic zones by creating a self-sustaining eco-system that envelops sitters in living and growing plant-life.
The ec-O bench generates electricity through solar panels that are embedded into the top of the extended structure which hovers above the suggested seating area. These panels harness electricity during the day to illuminate the seating area at night. A built-in system collects and filters water that is used for healthy plant growth. As they grow the plants wind around the bench’s circular structure, creating a jungle-like canopy dangling above the user.”
Can’t you see Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley coming across this bench while walking through the jungle!
