Brown Hart Gardens, Mayfair
Commended for best public space in the NLA’s
New London Awards in July 2014. Brown Hart
Gardens is an elevated public square over a Grade
II listed substation, located in the heart of Mayfair,
London.
Furnitubes designers worked closely with the
project team at BDP Landscape Architects to
develop over sixty bespoke seating and planter
units for the site. Three basic design modules were
supplied – elegant heavy duty fixed seats for the
perimeter of the site, and planters and benches
for the central deck area which could be moved
around to allow the space to be adaptable for a
variety of events.
The site has created a beautiful and flexible space
that has proven to be extremely popular with
residents, visitors and workers of the city.
About Furnitubes

Furnitubes was founded in 1946 by
marine engineer Jack Cluer, who started
the business re-using steel tubes from
the post-war marine shipyards to
produce materials for the new NHS,
schools and for London county council.

Furnitubes is still owed by the Cluer
family, and continues to bring a ‘can-do’
approach to sourcing, tailoring and
designing street furniture for clients
across the UK and worldwide.
Furnitubes International is now
established as one of the UK’s leading

“The beauty of the company is Furnitubes constant ability to amaze the
client. Most companies provide the bog standard item, but Furnitubes
go that extra mile. Our designers might think they’ve come up with the
ultimate solution, but the Furnitubes designers just go that little bit further’’
