Adding to the ever-changing public landscape of Times Square, German artist and architect J. Mayer H. has unveiled XXX TIMES SQUARE WITH LOVE, three bright-pink, X-shaped custom lounge chairs that allow visitors to lie back and take in the cacophony of lights and sounds for which Times Square is famous.
Originally inspired by the “X-like” intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue, the name also serves as a cheeky reference to the adult theaters and sex shops that once lined the square before its revitalization in the 1990s.Located on the Broadway Pedestrian Plaza between 43rd and 44th streets, each of the three X-shaped chairs is designed to accommodate four people, with each arm of the X becoming its own near-horizontal lounger from which people can take in a new perspective of the city.
