Both the idea for the bench and the video itself were produced by filmmaker George Zisiadis - the same talent that showed us the beauty of the Las Vegas Listening Tree. In a similar public project, the Bench Go Round was set up on a busy corner of San Francisco's Financial District, which sees thousands of passersby every day.

Along with being beautiful, the project re-imagines public seating, encouraging strangers to interact with one another - bringing surprised smiles with every spin.
