Abstract

This study analyzes the harmony between aesthetics and usefulness in urban furniture design, an important part of urban planning and design that has a considerable impact on the quality of urban areas. This analysis of three case studies—U-Like Urban Furniture Design, Agora Maximus Urban Furniture Design, and Concrete-Geometry Urban Furniture Design—highlights key strategies for attaining this balance. This study emphasizes key strategies for achieving this equilibrium, including aesthetic elements such as color, material texture, shape, and proportion, and functional elements such as user-centered design, functional diversity, environmental sustainability, and social interaction. The results show that designing urban furniture requires an integrated strategy that takes into account user needs, urban context, and environmental implications. Finally, the study suggests other areas of inquiry, such as case studies, experimental studies, and inquiries into the use of technology in urban furniture design. Urban furniture design is crucial to improving the livability and sustainability of cities, and this study contributes to the discipline by offering a way of achieving this harmony.
