Daniel has designed and created a Pipe Bench in conjunction with the Soundbench commission with Saffron Summerfield to provide a suitable seat from a concrete pipe that will be installed on the north side of the Pond area in Hambledines. Research into the site’s history and location bedside the lake immediately and heavily informed the concept and final design. Enjoying the natural environment that is already present on location was important to me. I also imagined forgotten and broken concrete pipes left behind after Rocla Pipes moved out and Redhouse Park built. A concrete Pipe bench could be used for sitting, climbing and interacting with. These playful apparatus would also provide natural habitats for wildlife beneath.
