Bawdy benches: Berlin's sexiest seating
Giving a whole new meaning to the term 'metrosexual', these rather daring seating arrangements grace the platform at Berlin's Dahlem-Dorf Metro station, which - oddly enough - is far better known for its folksy, faux-farmhouse architecture.
Designed by Berlin artist Wolf van Roy, we'd suggest that, despite their obvious charm(s), these 'his and her' benches lack slightly in the comfort stakes - the wooden appendages aren't really conducive to maximum relaxation.


Nevertheless, they certainly brighten up dreary journeys, and also cast the up-market district of Dahlem in an unexpectedly racy light: it may be posh, but it's clearly far from prudish.
