FROM THE ARCHIVE
As part of LFA2020, the LFA and Network Rail unveiled a series of witty and challenging benches by emerging architects and designers at some of London’s largest railway stations.
The series followed a design competition launched earlier this year and is the latest in our series of public installations that harness and celebrate emerging architectural and design talent, while improving London’s shared spaces and connecting people with new architecture and the buildings around them.

Sitting on London’s Clay
by Local Collective Studio
Local Collective’s seating uses London clay – a natural material found beneath Londoners’ feet – to offer a social furniture that is breathable and sustainable. The bench’s modular system offers different arrangements, while the materiality of clay improves indoor air quality by absorbing humidity and toxins. In response to climate change, Sitting on London’s Clay encourages a re-think about centuries-old construction techniques and materials.
The bench is supported by Pro-duck, Clayworks and Guy Valentine.
