It actually seems reasonable to use the bicycle saddle, a sitting device that can, in the widest sense, be classified as seating furniture, as a piece of furniture and thus beyond its singular function in sports. This indeed has already been suggested by Castiglioni Sella in 1957 or Ron Arads Puch Stool in the early 1980s. Contrary to their approach of changing the saddle into a stool by equipping it with a new substructure, Anna Brugger leaves it in its setting. She only changes the seat post by milling it into a spiral so that the saddle can be more easily screwed into hard-packed soil or sand. Thus right where pedalers are only too willing to take a rest!
