Peter Street Benches

Furniture

When they decided to build a new building at 134 Peter street in Toronto, there was a plan in place to salvage all the wood from the existing building and to reuse it in the new. I was asked to design and make eight benches with this material for the new atrium. I love the monolithic quality of the Yellow Pine timbers, and decided to use the original cast iron capitals as the feet for the benches.
