Public Punching bags in Manhattan installed by USA design studio to provide relief to frustrated New Yorkers

The 21st century health epidemic, Stress, has taken over every individual’s life, whether it’s the endless pollution, rush hour commute, noisy traffic, work pressure or just living the millennial life is stressful enough to keep our tempers on the fringe.

All these serve to make a street on Monday morning a tumbling pressure cooker. With this daily buzz of everyday life, it can be a really hard way to let of steam. Most of us are forced to put a lid on it and hope that the anger fizzles out.

Instead of bottling your anger and exploding at the end of day, wouldn’t it be cool if we just vent it out by punching something without violating any laws?

For this very reason, a USA design studio has constructed a cathartic punching bag to be used in most Manhattan Streets for people to take their frustration out. This quirky and innovative idea was put into effect by Georgia based Studio called donttakethisthewrongway was a part of the New York City Design week 2019 did the people of Manhattan an incredible service and installed Public Punching bags throughout the city.

This initiative is described as "A public amenity that caters to emotions. The concept explores designing common spaces for the frustrations we all face. Frustrations that go beyond designed systems and happen, well, because we are human.

The public punching bag offers an outlet for these emotions as a means to maybe develop a healthier way to address personal and collective issues in a public setting.
