Tree guard - Bike stand:
What we like about cites is things we notice. That's why we visit and that's also why we chose a particular one to live in. So a object that is a little bit different is a nice encounter whether we are on the way to work or just wondering around.

In my street furniture I tried to give more functions to the same object. Hopefully succeeding to surprise by giving a new function to an object that seems very clearly defined for most of the people. And in this case it's not because we really need the tree-guard to do other stuff that just guard the trees. But also because it shows a new way of looking at things. Except the tree-guard or the bench which serve also as bike stand there could be other objects that have multiple, surprising functions. For example: sewer caps that are different for all areas of the city and have the map of that area on them.
I'm sure there are other possible combinations just waiting to be discovered ) the tree guard is made out of 4mm thick and 400mm wide sheet metal. should be painted different in each area it's placed.
