“Užutekis” is a modular seating installation designed to enrich a shopping mall’s public space. Composed of wooden cubes—some softened with padded surfaces—it forms a dynamic amphitheater that invites people to sit, rest, and interact. The flexible structure integrates steps, seating areas, and planters, creating a multifunctional environment that blends nature with contemporary design. Positioned centrally, it naturally frames a stage area for performances, events, or community gatherings. Its modularity allows easy reconfiguration to suit various spatial or functional needs, while the warm wooden aesthetic fosters a welcoming atmosphere that encourages social engagement and enhances the mall’s cultural experience.
