Artist Turns Public Transport Seats Into Wearable Clothing And There’s One More Twist

How many times have you taken a ride in a bus without even noticing the material its seats were made from? Buses and trains use fabric designs that are drab and somewhat painful to look at, but they are meant to withstand both – trends that change every month and time that will make even the coolest design look dull in a year or so. Menja Stevenson  is unlike most people and looks closely at the things surrounding her. She got inspired by the fabric designs used by German transportation companies and decided to turn them into works of art, combining unique clothing, photography, and a bit of social experiment.

Here’s what happened!

 

 

Menja Stevenson started her Bustour project back in 2006 inspired by the accident-resistant fabric she saw in buses. That’s when she started contacting the transportation companies to get the fabric that is usually not for sale. It’s limited edition!

 

 

When she finally got all the necessary material and created the clothing, it was time to put it to test. She carefully placed herself inside the buses wearing the exact same pattern as the seats fabric. Can you imagine what happened?


 

To the artist’s surprise, most people didn’t even make the connection between the fabric she was wearing and the one they were sitting on!
