This article explores the transformative potential of urban furniture for enhancing public spaces through a Social Design approach implemented in the Viennese pilot project Re-Sourcing Commons, which integrates principles of community involvement and circular economy in the design of public spaces. Focused on the redesign of Fritzi-Massary-Park in Vienna’s second district, the project, led by Social Design Studio – a department located at the University of Applied Arts Vienna –, engaged local residents to enhance social infrastructure, recreational quality, and accessibility across diverse age groups, with a particular focus on youths and the elderly. Central to its approach is the systematic reduction and the repurposing of materials sourced from municipal stocks and landfills, such as discarded standard park benches, to minimise urban waste and promote sustainable public space design.
