Contemporary public furniture today is largely utilitarian, to be sat on or eaten off, end of story. This sums up the public bench. For a functional object offering the benefits of rest and reflection time in a busy world, we feel the humble bench deserves an updated, innovative design that really celebrates its possibilities.
Bench10 is a unique exhibition that features 10 one-off public benches by 10 leading international designers that will be exhibited in and around London’s Old Spitalfields Market.
The designers are: Cecilie Manz, Decode London, Felix de Pass, JDS Architects, Klauser & Carpenter, Michael Marriot & Anthony Burrill, Offcut Design, Richard Shed, Shay Alkalay & Yael Mer and TAF Architects
Opening times: 10am-9pm
Ticket information: Free
The London Design Festival can only happen because we have such great support.
