Generating social furniture that is breathable and sustainable, the modular bench system offers different configurations for different social needs. In addition, the use of clay improves indoor air quality by absorbing humidity and toxins. Finished with Rammed Earth in a distinctive and naturally colorful depiction of the ancient building technique, the bench also takes on clay plaster finishes. Hoping to bring warmth, joy, and texture, in a sustainable way, to London’s public spaces, Lisa Chan of Local Collective explains that the “
seating not only provides a place to sit but a moment to pause in the frenetic inner city of London and to feel the tactility and rawness of earth.”

The central focus for the 2021 London Festival of Architecture has been announced. LFA 2021, which is set to take place from 1 to 30 June 2021, pandemic restrictions willing, has a starkly simple and compelling theme, ‘Care’. A deliberately broad topic that is also incredibly relatable in this age of pandemic, ‘Care’ is at the heart of the LFA’s annual call for proposals, which stays open until 7 March 2021.
