Park Furniture - 25 years on Ponsonby Road

Public furniture is an interesting product to design; its prime purpose is practical, yet they also hold a lot of symbolic meaning - home to the many in-between, ordinary moments of our lives; conversations, dates, a place of meeting, a pause in time, a moment of reflection. 25 years ago, we designed and made these cast iron seats for Ponsonby rd - our aim was to make a durable and timeless chair. Seeing Ponsonby change throughout the years, once home to our first shop, Zealous, and apartment, to now some of our fav new eateries....it has always been a hub of creativity, food, wine, community and art - and these seats have really seen it bloom throughout the years. These seats, in many ways, define our business; products that are made for people and made to last.
