COMMUNITY SPACES
WITH BESPOKE FURNITURE AT WHITFIELD GARDENS
Located at the heart of Tottenham Court Road , Whitfield Gardens has long been a vibrant spot in London , celebrated for the iconic Fitzrovia Mural — a colourful depiction of life in the 1980s . In an ambitious initiative led by Camden Council , Whitfield Gardens was selected for revitalisation under the West End Project , aimed at transforming public spaces for local residents and visitors alike . LDA Design was appointed to spearhead this scheme , with Woodscape producing a range bespoke street furniture to enhance the ambience and functionality of the space .
The project aimed to enhance the urban appeal of Whitfield Gardens by modernising and beautifying this high-footfall area , creating an inviting and warm atmosphere through integrated lighting features . It was essential to design the space with flexibility in mind , allowing for a range of future community events while promoting outdoor living — a vital consideration following the increased demand for quality public spaces post-lockdown .
Woodscape was tasked with delivering custom hardwood seating and picnic tables . With subtle lighting , designed by Michael Grubb Studio , incorporated into the seating , these installations give the space a soft , inviting glow , transforming it into a more welcoming area for relaxation and social gathering , regardless of the time of day . The combination of naturally very durable hardwood materials and thoughtful lighting design brings an added dimension of comfort , enhancing the experience for those who live , work , and travel through the area .
