The first piece of the Horse’s ‘tail’ can be made out of bended metal if it serves as a bench or light weight fabric if it is just a decoration. It is connected by a steel pole with hooks like a sail
This is the biggest part of the assembly. The bench can be made out of cast in plastic that can be bended into various shapes. For rain protection, a metal or fabric overhang is supported by outdoor umbrella supports.
Because this is a modular design, various combinations can be achieved with the different forms. Between the big assemblies, ‘tail’ section can be fixed made out of lightweight fabric materials.
One assembly can consist of a hammock, providing people with a new kind of urban sitting, used normally in nature. The materials can be of rain resisting polyester.
The end of the assembly is also decorated with a lightweight fabric ‘tail’ supported by two metal poles fixed in the ground.
