About Project Sit Down

Welcome to the bench sitting headquarters of the world! My name is Eli Dunn. For the last three years, I have traveled through 18 countries, sitting on and documenting benches wherever I go.

The more I sit down on benches, the more I realize the power that they hold. In today's fast-paced and digital world filled with deadlines, and distractions, I believe that an ordinary public bench offers the perfect antidote. Sitting on benches can bring balance to our lives. While on the outside, the average bench may only look like a few pieces of wood nailed together, they have a much deeper significance. Benches are a blank canvas in which people can pause, reflect, connect, and embrace simplicity.

This project is built around these ideologies. Its goal is to build a global bench-sitting community that fosters self-love, human connection, and appreciation for the world.

If you love benches and want to support the project, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter! Thank you! What a treat
