Internationally renowned British designer Paul Cocksedge is transforming Broadgate with Landmark Project, Please Be Seated. Commissioned by Broadgate, the project will be the most ambitious of British Land’s Landmark installations to date.
The large-scale structure responds to the changing rhythm of the community: its design features curves for people to sit on and walk under, further enhancing London's largest pedestrianised neighbourhood. Made from scaffolding planks, Paul Cocksedge is collaborating with Essex-based high-end interiors company, White & White, to re-imagine and re-use the building wood.
“Every single aspect of the installation is tailored to its environment as well as the function it serves. The curves raise up to create backrests and places to sit, as well as space for people to walk under, or pause and find some shade. It walks the line between a craft object and a design solution. It occupies the square without blocking it,” says Cocksedge.
