Shoe Shine Tower, London​

​

This was a moveable piece of furniture sited in the City of London’s public realm that enabled conversations with workers; hoping to get beyond the pre-conception that the square mile was a mono-cultural, and sterile place. It was commissioned as part of the Summer 2012 Olympics and was part of a series of pieces of furniture that were made and transported around the city throughout the games.

​

The tower comprised throne, ottoman, and stool. When unfolded the use was clear but when folded away the expression of the tower was deliberately ambiguous.

​

Status: Completed.

In collaboration with Andrew Barkley.
