The Swing Necklace by Johanna Richter is the perfectly eccentric extra seat. Who doesn't want to swing on a giant's string of pearls [made of beechwood or wool felt]?

Street Swinging.

Street Art + Swings = One of the Most Amazing Things Ever According to Kelly (me). I can't even begin to know how I would react to swings popping up all over my city. There could be some tears, happy happy tears. Swinging is one of those things that make you (or at least me) beautifully happy every time. I get one of those dopey grins and as long as my butt isn't being pinched I could happily remain swinging and grinning for hours.

"Seeking to add some life to the drab grey pedestrian paths, artists Akay and Peter went around Stockholm, Sweden hanging 65 fun, ninja-like swings for the public to play with... it seems that joy and whimsy are necessary elements of sustainable design."
