Brief Explanation

Airports can be lonely places. Especially when you are travelling around Christmastime, a time for sharing, unity and togetherness. We installed a table for 20 in the busiest part of one of Europe’s biggest airports, but it was 4.5 meters high, so that people could not reach the Christmas dinner served on it. 20 stools surrounding the table were equipped with a pressure sensor. With every traveller that sat down on a stool, the table lowered a little. Random travellers who sat down on a stool were intrigued and started to work together with others to lower the table. Dozens of people from all over the world put their phones or books aside and enjoyed a very special Christmas dinner together. Nothing was staged. We filmed the event – all about sharing, unity and togetherness – and shared a compilation of the best moments of the day online right beforeChristmas.
