Coventry City Council – Hertford Street Seating and Table

Client

Coventry City Council

Location

Hertford Street, City Centre, Coventry

Project Scope

Urban SF provided a full design service including concepts, full detailed design and manufacturing as well as delivery offloading, positioning and installation.

The bespoke seating and bar table were designed specifically for the location, to fit around 3 large established trees, taking into account their size and positioning within the plaza as well as pedestrian routes around the trees and across the site.

The seating and table are situated on the main route between the mainline train station and the City centre’s retail and dining districts. The new seating provides an improved sense of place and will increase dwell time of a busy thoroughfare, supporting shops, entertainment venues and the varied local street food vendors situated on the site.

As the location is a high traffic area high wear materials and finishes were chosen with low maintenance requirements to ensure the seating and table will keep helping the area look its best for the 30+ year design life of the products.
