A COLLECTION OF WORKS FROM THE ‘BENCH YEAR’ SERIES FROM THE LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL Lots 232–235
In 2012, the London Design Festival collaborated with Established & Sons to commission a group of unique benches to mark a decade of the Festival. The ‘Bench Years’ series was a collaboration of international designers who were individually matched with ten material suppliers and tasked with the creation of a bench. The benches were exhibited in the John Madejski Garden at The Victoria and Albert Museum throughout the duration of the festival. Four benches from the series are included in the auction.
