seating, lighting, trash cans,

I like some of Landscape Forms, especially the Brian Kane designs. Simple and clean, mostly.

tokyo develpoment around roppongi hills commisioned artists and designers to come up with designs for street furniture.

Also you could look at this interesting non-commisioned furniture, not sure if it is helpful or not really...

Also have a look at Thomas Heatherwicks 'Blue Carpet' in Newcastle UK, I think this is a nice and quite unusual example.
