Bollard Seats
Stained Birch Plywood. 2021
This project is a collaboration with architect Lara Kinneir, FRSA and made during my residency on the Low Carbon Design Institute, run by Alex Deschamps-Sonsino
This project adds additional seating to the public realm, repurposing existing street furniture to divert the functionality towards more socially focused uses.
It is intended as a point of departure for discussion about the role of high streets and local communities in working towards net zero emissions, the new social dynamics of the pandemic, as well as child safety, space for play and air quality in our cities. (But it is also just a seat.)
