Original design public bench

Factory Furniture were asked to create two feature seats for the iconic Tower 42, Bishopsgate. We were pleased to accept the challenge of making HED’s ambitious seating concept a reality. Each seat reached over 3m in height and required a design that could cope with the changing levels of the site and the curving wall onto which they sat. The sweeping FSC timber seat slats and armrests were carried by a modular steel frame. The seats were broken into sections that were assembled in the workshop before being transported to site ready for installation. Each seat was fitted with integrated top-down lighting which dramatically illuminates them during night-time hours.
