Why
Social Ring is an innovative urban intervention that encourages greater community interaction and involvement during these times of social distancing. Through its design of 10 modular tables and benches that are freely movable within a circular ring, users are encouraged to configure the furniture according to their needs, from social distancing to social gathering, romantic dating to mini concert.
Social Ring diversifies the urban fabric along the promenade to improve the well-being and involvement of the community, and demonstrates a new flexible form of socially distanced gathering.

鑑於目前的疫情，「社交圈」是一個重新思考各種社交距離的多功能城市家具設計。
通過10個不同尺寸的模塊化設計和4個設置模式，「社交圈」可讓所有年齡的人都可以根據不同的需求來設置和享用。
10模塊 –文化表演
–像一個小型開放式劇場，允許觀眾欣賞文化表演，例如唱歌，跳舞。
5模塊 x 2–社交聚會
-兩個分開的長凳，讓家人和一群朋友暫時“私有化”公共空間以進行聚會
2模塊 x 5 –情侶約會
-將兩個模塊合併為一個，以鼓勵情侶或朋友兩個人之間的社交互動
1模塊 x 10 –社交距離
-完全隔離的模式允許個人在保持社交距離的情況下休息
