Golden A’ Design Award Winner for Street Furniture Design Category in 2014 & 2015.

Urban Benches is a series of furniture designed by George Drakakis to accommodate people at the crossroads of contemporary public space. Inspired by concepts and forms in nature and mathematics, each piece involves much more than making bold and innovative aesthetic expressions; Urban Benches address public needs like those of social interaction, inclusion and accessibility.
