botton + gardiner is proud that one of its products is a key feature of the project. The Moonstone benches by Metalco were specified by EJE Architecture, and feature a pebble-like, monolithic concrete form that is ideal for students to clamber over, lounge across, play with or perch on to eat.

The enlarged scale adds an element of fun and plays with the imagination, perfect for an interactive learning environment, while the curved form ensures there are no pointed corners that could cause potential injury. The seat ensures the design focuses on flexible learning spaces and collaborates with the interiors to enhance the elements of the space.
