Project • By DENIZEN WORKS • Memorial spaces
Cruciform Bench
The concept for the benches draws on the predominant visual motif found throughout the cemetery - the cross. This motif is composed into a three dimensional form to create two galvanized steel bases, between which spans a solid timber seat. The clean, delicate metalwork contrasts with the heft of timber and its expressive grain to create a sculptural form in the landscape.
Five benches were commissioned for the central memorial zone in the cemetery, three of which were specially adapted to include backrests and are now located in the Garden of Remembrance War Memorial.
The design was chosen as the winner from over 50 international entries and is part of the wider project at the cemetery, which was shortlisted for the 2021 RIBA MacEw... More

Large Island for sitting, the higher one serves to lay the laptop, the highest one as a backrest.

Modules can stand alone or be linked in a playful archipelago. Intersection of shapes, various orientations of wooden panels and different colours of corpuses complete the overall effect. Wood on the horizontal surfaces may be replaced with high-pressure laminate (HPL) whose smooth surfaces, colour and graphic diversity create yet a different graphic character. Possibility of combination is not unlimited but is so wide that it will satisfy any creative architect who desires s... More

SINUS
Expanding the original concept of tree grilles, Sinus was created from a number of separate benches with an unmistakable expression. Strong steel plates easily bent on a slightly trapezoidal profile as in the case of the longest bench reinforced with an almost invisible rib rendering a totally solid shape. The dot perforation is a throwback to the genuine aesthetics of the 1960s. The combination of a unique seat pattern with plastic ’button pads’ thermally isolates the unpleasantly cold metal while providing the ultimate sitting comfort. A subtle yet important detail is the option of having the bench optically “grow” right out of the pavement. More
