One of Woodscape’s most
recent installations at
Peach Place, Wokingham,
is an amazing undulating
seat design, where the
interface between the timber
slats and the concrete
ends was key to the final
look, requiring large scale
production and installation
to a high degree of precision.
The unique design brings
impact and glamour to the
location, increasing the
vibrant atmosphere that
helps bring customers to
the surrounding shops
and restaurants and then
returning to time and again
to this inspirational space to
soak up the atmosphere.
Chester town centre features some timber bollards, where the need for traffic
calming is combined with the vision of artist Katayoun Dowlatshahi, the work
of Art Fabrications, and some detailed CNC work to incredible effect for the
creation of real works of art.
Practicality rules the day at St James Market, London, where the need to utilise
the area had to be balanced with the demands of a popular meeting place for
food lovers, being home to various festivals and gatherings during the year. This
required working with Hyland Edgar Driver over several months to create a
sectional planter & seating solution that aligned with the surrounding aesthetic
could handle the existing paving that sloped in many directions and be easily
relocated when the spaces need to be emptied for gatherings. The visual impact
of the finished furniture is remarkable, enhancing an already beautiful area.
