Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines

"These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

A screenshot of a screenshot; on twitter, @lisaskwon posts a screenshot of something she saw on instagram from @rios.imagines, saying "all week i've been thinking about this caption". The image shows riot cops aiming guns at protesters barricaded behind pink park furniture amidst a cloud of tear gas. The caption from @rios.imagines reads: "images of the bright pink civic furniture line that we designed for @grandpark_la "the park for everyone" being used by LA protesters stopped us in our tracks. These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect. we stand in solidarity with our city during moments of civic expression in support of unjust treatment, and we are reminded why we design: for our community, diversity, and a sense of belonging."

If there's no local tv coverage of @GrandPark_LA NYE party, I will be convinced that LA isn't really as vain as we claim to be.
