Designers Studio Weave have installed a meandering 324 metre-long bench on the seafront at Littlehampton in the UK.
Providing seating for 300 people, the bench is made of reclaimed tropical hardwood, salvaged from landfill and old seaside groynes, with colourful stainless steel bars inserted wherever the form twists, bends or dips.
Two bronze shelters enclose more frantic loops in the structure and frame views towards and away from the sea.
The bench is already the longest in the UK and there are plans to extend it to 621 metres.
