Modern storytelling

Would you like to bring your street furniture to life?

Create an unexpected listening experience with MAQNIFY® Guide.

Talking benches

A surprising experience for visitors and local residents

Benches and other places to sit invite people to pause for a moment. With MAQNIFY® Guide, everyday street furniture can become a storyteller and reveal more about the place around it.

Storytelling with local character

Culture, traditions and stories

Imagine sitting on a park bench when someone joins you and starts telling a story. Encounters like that can make a visit memorable. With MAQNIFY® Guide, a bench can share stories about the place, local legends and insider tips about hidden gems.

Create themed routes or give local people a voice and let them explain what makes a particular place special.
