STREET FURNITURE
the entrance to the Elephant Park play area , and feature hundreds of individually shaped timber slats over a powder-coated steel subframe , with anti-slip discs and concealed lighting channels ensuring the finished result is both practical and beautiful .
However , the star of the show is the incredible waved seating designs , which were developed from the initial concept to the intricate masterpiece now in place , designed to seat users in varying positions and heights to make the most of its ’ location . Several seats were created , culminating with a 9-metre long seat that ’ s become sculptural in appearance , with swooping contours and impactful use of the materials making this so much more than just seating .
The ‘ broom yellow ’ powder-coated steel framework houses specially designed lighting trays to allow illumination between the slats and wiring provision to allow for inbuilt charging points in the end panels . Between the hardwood slats , a range of possible materials were sampled resulting in polycarbonate diffusers that work perfectly with the lighting units , providing a warm glow that really integrates the seats with their surroundings . Individual hardwood slats become a sturdy but flowing shape via a joint designed especially for this project , with each piece being manufactured using Woodscape ’ s unmatched CNC capabilities and seamless hand finishing .
Everything about the street furniture produced for Elephant Park was a labour of love worthy of the area , sure to be admired by residents and visitors alike , and Woodscape hope to continue to play our part in future phases of this epic project .
