The Architecture Foundation is delighted to welcome the addition of new permanent seating to our Gibbon's Rent transformation project. The eight new black Juno chairs, a generous donation from Italian design company Arper, will offer visitors to the 'secret garden' a place to sit, relax and socialise.
The first phase of the project, which was realised in 2012 in collaboration with Team London Bridge and Southwark Council, transformed a long forgotten cut through in Southwark into a green space for the local community to enjoy. The second phase will see further regeneration of the space through a commission by Rotterdam-based architecture office Superuse Studios, who will design two permanent gateway structures created from materials harvested within Greater London to be launched later this year.
