German designer [Michael Schoner] of NL Architects turned an ordinary street bench into a public sound system that can be accessed by passersby with iPods and cellphones with Bluetooth. Boom Bench features 60 watt co-axial speakers, two subwoofers, and a bass shaker in the seat that’ll allow you to feel the vibrations of your music choices. It was on display in Amsterdam last month for the Urban Play event. It remains to be seen whether this new urban development will make your daily wait for the bus more entertaining or aggravating.

Dude this is exactly the type of thing that GRL is into. Along with me and my buddies. Gives me some cool ideas!
Imagine interfacing one of these with a cordless phone or cell phone sniffer, could be loads of fun!
