The new curved bench at Cambridge's Pocket Park.
Ridgeons has unveiled its specially commissioned curved bench at the newly-opened Pocket Park, situated at the heart of Brookgate’s CB1 redevelopment project in Cambridge.
The artists have worked together designing and making furniture for the last 22 years and their work ranges from very small to huge outdoor pieces. Their studio furniture is often carved from blocks of green oak, which is scorched and polished to a glossy black finish, and appears in public collections across the world – including the V&A in London and Manchester Art Gallery.
The bench will sit alongside a sunken carved roundel marking where a Ridgeons time capsule is buried, crafted by professional lettering artist Tom Perkins. The park was designed by landscape architect Robert Myers Associates and constructed by Wates.
