Product supplied
The bench slats were manufactured from FSC Cumaru with a hidden stainless steel frame and fixings. They were supplied in sections and had to manufactured to a high tolerance so that when they were transported half-way round the world and mounted onto the plinths they would match the complex shapes exactly.
Client feedback
