Five seats based on school childrens drawings of windmill sails. The form of the seats also derives from the sentinels found on the tops of West Coast American Indian totem poles. The construction also pulls on ideas of constructing with thin card and corrugating it to provide strength. Design workshops with local primary school formed part of the commission.
