Context

The £1billion regeneration of the Dundee Waterfront is the 3rd largest regeneration project in the UK and spans 240 hectares of land stretching 8km along the River Tay. 

The Waterfront is divided into five zones: Riverside, Seabraes, The Central Waterfront, City Quay and Dundee Port. The Central Waterfront zone is home to the new V&A Museum designed by architect Kengo Kuma, a new Sleeperz Hotel, and the railway station.

Product supplied

Barrell Sculpture supplied 19 black Pendeen Pebble Seats which were installed outside the railway station and hotel, with a backdrop of Captain Scott’s ship, the RSS Discovery.

Pendeen Pebble Seats

The original sculptural Pebble Seat is made from solid cast concrete and polished to achieve the look and feel of natural stone.

Barrell Pebble Seats are made in a studio and workshop, not a factory, using techniques developed by Ben Barrell over 20 years of using concrete to create fluid organic shapes.
