“Built out of recycled steel and reclaimed hardwoods, the seaside bench is reminiscent of a beach boardwalk, but the twists, loops and dips make it playful and fun”. AR Architectural Review volume 1366 pg71

· The bench was designed by Studio Weave in collaboration with the local Council.
· This Pavilion was inspired by wooden boardwalks as well as a charm bracelet. Here is one of the shelters, which acts as a "charm" on the long and twisty coast "chain”. The bench meets with two Pavilions made from bronze-coated steel that provide shade as well as an exciting entrance to the Pavilion. This structure meanders and loops like a chain and occasionally encounters colours that gives a sense of playfulness in my opinion.
· The pavilion spins into a series of loops inside, bouncing off the interior walls embracing playful living.
· It weaves along the coast, connecting the whole beach together in one long visual presence as it bends, swerves, dips, arches and curves along the beach and I believe that this blended well.
· Reclaimed tropical hardwood was salvaged from landfills all over England and old seaside huts to create the hundreds of slats used for the bench top.
