Please have a seat...

Now, this is just plain weird.
This bench has appeared outside a laundrette on the street where I work.
At first I thought some vandals had jumped on it, but on closer inspection it appears it has been made this way.
Now, Outer Nørrebro is not exactly a centre of installation art, but it seems like someone went to all the trouble to have this bench custom made in metal, spray painted and bolted to the ground.
-And, most likely filled out tons of forms to get permission.
If someone has a good explanation for this apparent waste of time, resources and money I would love to hear it.
