Ele bench by RAB Studio

We loved being a part of the ELE-Bench project which is currently at the Royal Docks to be enjoyed along with these other great bench designs.  The design inspired by an unusual shipment of elephants over 70 years ago provide locals, visitors and Londoners with a unique new space to sit on and make the most of their surroundings.

In total a series of five new benches designed by emerging architects have been unveiled across the Royal Docks.

The competition, which is in its second year, invited architecture and design students, recent graduates and emerging practitioners to deliver a playful new take on street furniture that can celebrate the Royal Docks and the communities at home in the area.
