Chris Nangle Furniture was commissioned to manufacture a set of bespoke benches for the newly-landscaped Dock Museum in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.

The company worked with Above Zero Landscape Architecture to develop a pair of visually-striking benches that reflect the proud manufacturing history of the area.

Reclaimed greenheart timber upcycled from UK dock piers was chosen. The super-durable timber was wrapped in oversized hand-riveted steel plates to reflect the ship- and bridge-building industries.
