We started this project with researching human behavior in the public space, especially how they determine their preferred distance from people and how they change depending on different situations. We wanted to materialize this changing of distances, to make people aware and even surprise themselves. So we created  three movable seats along a rail with a measuring tool in between.

There's a measuring tool in between the seats that shows the distance between the two, changing as it moves, confronting the user to the personal space that they create.

​

The chairs move within the track with built-in wheels.
