OTHER INFORMATION

TESTIMONIAL

"Furnitubes designers were able to transform our ideas to design and manufacture contemporary benches that complemented the historical context of the area. The simple design with oak slats features stainless steel plaques with logos for the Chester Lions and the Council. The engraved panels on the sides of three of the benches make reference to the Medieval heritage of Chester.

Furnitubes were able to deliver the seats for the opening ceremony at The Cross in Chester city centre, where they were unveiled by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Neil Ritchie. The unique benches were well received by all involved, and are a great asset for visitors and residents alike!"
Janet Wooldridge, Landscape Architect - Specialist Environmental Services, Cheshire West and Chester Council

DESCRIPTION

Cheshire West and Chester Council required bespoke steel and timber seating of a contemporary design, which would not detract from Chester’s historical city centre - a conservation area. Furnitubes were commissioned to design four seats, one of which to be sponsored by charity Chester Lions to commemorate their Golden Jubilee. Their bench required the Lions logo, the other three benches were required to display the logo of Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Furnitubes designers came up with simple, contemporary design featuring stainless steel with a glass bead blast finish, and legally sourced certified timbers. Graphics were engraved into the seat standards to reflect the the Medieval heritage of the area. Stainless steel engraved plaques were fixed to the seats to display logos of Chester Lions and Cheshire West and Chester Council.
