Pleasure Garden of the Utilities

Client Stoke City Council

Budget £85,000

Bespoke street furniture made in collaboration with the fireclay team from the local Armitage Shanks factory. The ceramics make visible and celebrate the culture of the potteries, where the hands of the person you sit next to on the bus, are the hands that made the plate from which you eat your dinner. The scheme brings to the public street a scale of domestic intimacy and delicate detail.
