Seoul Bench Design Contest

I was transferring at Wangshimni station before heading back home when I bumped into these cute bench designs at one corner of the station. I would not have been interested had they been ordinary benches.  The ones I saw were ( from what I guess) the winners of some sort of design competition held by Seoul city.

See the rhinoceros bench? Then...the yellow one up front on which instead of putting on a sticker to indicate whom the bench for, they simply carved out symbols indicating whom the bench was for.  

Then, I also encountered this baseball(?) bench. I am not quite sure though. Still, it looked so intriguingly interesting. I thought it was a thermometer or something, but with a ball right beside it, it could not have been so. Right? 

This Brontosaurus bench also caught my attention. Well...I am sure that this would be an eye-catching bench should all of those kinds of benches are all ready spread out and set up across the city.

These are just the prototype or some sort of exhibition at first.

Hopefully, they will be realized into a mass produced bench for the whole community to enjoy.

Enter 6 @ Wangshimni Enter 6

Still @ Wangshimni station where Enter 6 is located. We did not go for shopping, though. Well, since we thought that this place was cool, we might as well spend some time taking pictures right here. 

With my wife. Oh, Eyra, my daughter, took the picture. well, she should've lowered the camera a bit. No, I guess she should've been on a higher spot so that the lower part of the atrium was visible. Anyhow...she did a good job of taking picture of her parents.

 The green emerald water in the fountain was a dispersed reflection of the water enhanced by the green colored of its porcelain. *still it's my guess*. The cozy place to sip a coffee or so.

My wife did a pose for a moment. The contrast between the black coat she was wearing and the apparent background was strikingly imbued the nuance of Enter  6 blue sky rooftop.
Wanna go there?
Just take line 2 or line 5 or jungang line of Seoul subway and get off at Wangshimni station.

Enter 6? 

                                                                     Enter 6? 

Yes, that's how people call it. and...it's the official name of the chain store of branded clothing in Korea. I did not know it until I spent an hour or so walking around the complex.  This Enter 6 complex occupies 3 floors of elegantly stylish themed floors. The European? Baroque style? One thing for sure, once we got of at Wangshimni station from Subway ine 2 (green line), 

we could barely see that this place is distinctively visible. 

But, when we were walking into the stream of people lining up into the store, there started our curiosity as to what it was.

 Look at the porcelain or marble fountain right in the middle of the intersection where most folks would run or bump into each other. I think this is a hip place for those who like to shop till they drop. I mean....the stuffs being sold here are those of brand and famous brand names. So, mind you...you got to make yourself pretty much competitively upscale to be in the market: Enter 6. Worth-visiting? yes..if you are into something else to see and feel.

 The corridor or pavement was interestingly illuminated and clean. The lighting also did justice to the ornaments and decorative artworks carved onto the walls of the buildings. I think this is a pretty impressive place to look around.
