Lighting Up Happiness: How the Bench with Light by Mil Risas Created a Playful Night Experience in Korean Park Streets
Bench with light designed to transform public spaces into engaging nighttime attractions. Glow furniture‘s benches combine decorative lighting with urban durability, increasing nighttime foot traffic by approximately 30% in numerous Korean park streets, including parks, commercial streets, and riverside promenades. Made from 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly PE material, these benches offer IP65 industrial-grade waterproofing and UV protection, making them an ideal solution for modern landscape lighting and public rest areas.
In partnership with city planners at Songjeong Central Park and Starlight Street, Mil Risas helped revitalize public spaces in South Korea’s top park district. By installing durable LED benches, heart-shaped stools, and moving-color long benches, the project turned after-dark areas into lively, memorable gathering spots that combine playfulness with practical function.

Overview
This project involves bench with light series in various public spaces to enhance both functionality and visual appeal.
At the heart of South Korea’s lively urban zones, Korean Park Streets sought to create a new nighttime atmosphere where nature and innovation coexist. Mil Risas delivered the bench with light series, a key part of modern interactive LED furniture for public spaces—a combination of artistic design and smart lighting—that turned ordinary rest areas into glowing, friendly spaces.
The benches are designed for durability and weather resistance, with integrated RGB LED lighting that creates a modern, interactive environment, especially when combined with glow games to further enhance engagement. Suitable for commercial plazas, parks, pedestrian streets, and outdoor play areas.

What Makes the Bench with Light by Mil Risas the Perfect Choice?
As a landscape lighting contractor, we needed to transform public parks and streets into vibrant nighttime spaces while preserving the natural scenery and fitting the city’s overall urban lighting plan.
Working in public areas required lighting solutions that were durable, weather-resistant, and safe for daily pedestrian use, while also meeting strict municipal standards for long-term outdoor installations.
The project also demanded lighting features that could attract visitors and encourage people to stay longer after sunset, while maintaining energy efficiency and avoiding excessive light pollution.
Finally, the installation had to be practical for large-scale city projects, requiring systems that were easy to install, simple to maintain, and reliable for continuous operation in busy public environments.
How does Bench With Light in Mil Risas address the Challenges without Harming Nature?
To make the parks more attractive at night while keeping nature safe, mil risas worked closely with the contractor. We introduced illuminated seating solutions, including the modular outdoor LED lighting curved bench, LED heart-shaped stools, and the LED park-long bench. These installations created inviting rest areas that blend naturally with the surrounding landscape and improve the park’s nighttime atmosphere.
For long-lasting outdoor performance, we selected eco-friendly PE LED furniture made with rotational molding technology. Each bench with light is waterproof（IP65）, UV-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant. This ensures durability and safety in busy public spaces, while requiring very little maintenance.
We provided benches with light that have color-changing RGB lighting that integrates seating and decor in one. The benches come in multiple sizes to fit different locations. LED benches turn passive seating into interactive light attractions.
To make installation simple and reduce costs, each bench with light uses rechargeable lithium batteries or DC12V/DC24V power. Wireless operation avoids complex wiring, and removable lamp bases allow easy charging. This makes long-term operation easy for large public lighting projects.
What was the final result?
South Korea’s Bench With Light project in parks and streets: increased nighttime pedestrian traffic by 30% and extended usage time by 15 minutes, demonstrating how public space lighting solutions can effectively increase dwell time and visitor engagement. After installation, the parks came alive. Visitors smiled as the bench with light painted pathways with playful colors, and couples posed by glowing heart stools.
The dynamic lights of each bench changed beautifully throughout the evening, encouraging laughter, photos, and community connection. Similar to the vibrant atmosphere in our glow party projects, the interactive lighting in this park significantly increased visitor engagement and enhanced the nighttime visual appeal of the spaces.
Public areas became more interactive, drawing social media attention and encouraging repeat visits. Spaces that were previously underused became lively, illuminated destinations, with similar concepts now widely applicable to hotel resort environments and bar settings—especially in locations such as the seashore, terrace, and outdoor bar scenarios seeking to enhance nighttime ambiance and guest engagement.
