Living Room, Sculpture at a transit center in Gresham, Oregon, United States.

Living Room was an outdoor sculpture at the Gresham Central Transit Center in Gresham, Oregon, made by Tamsie Ringler in 2001. It consisted of a pink couch, a concrete high-backed yellow chair, a bronze coffee table, a lit black iron floor lamp and a glowing television set, all placed on a tile mosaic rug with images of east Multnomah County.

Living Room was made by Tamsie Ringler, a visual arts instructor at Mt. Hood Community College and a resident of Sandy, Oregon. She began work two years before the 2001 installation, and TriMet's Public Art Advisory Committee chose her proposal from three finalists. It was the first east Multnomah County artwork commissioned by TriMet's Public Art Program and Ringler's first publicly funded commission. TriMet removed the sculpture in late October 2013 and returned it to Ringler after dismantling.

The tile mosaic rug under the furniture carries images tied to east Multnomah County: the east wind, the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival and a snowboarder. Fifty students and volunteers assembled it, starting in February 2000, and it took more than 2,000 hours to finish. The piece became known as a gathering spot for local teenagers and twentysomethings.

The sculpture stood on the plaza at the Gresham Central Transit Center, at Northeast Eighth Street and Kelly Avenue, served by MAX Blue and Green Line trains. TriMet removed it in late October 2013 and returned the dismantled pieces to artist Tamsie Ringler, so there is nothing left to see at the site.

The tile mosaic rug beneath the furniture took more than 2,000 hours to complete, started in February 2000 and assembled by 50 students and volunteers. It shows the east wind, the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival and a snowboarder. TriMet dismantled the work in late October 2013 and returned it to Ringler.
