The wooden sculpted seating was made with community engagement. Workshops were held in both local schools and the community centre to create circular clay tiles on a theme of wildlife. These were fixed into circular recesses machined into the wide ends of 50-millimetre oak boards, cut on a taper. A total of 20 2.5 metre-long boards are held together in the form of a fan by fixing them, from the rear side, through sheets of marine plyboard. The seat which was added to the front, and adorned with rectangular tiles, was angled to 120 degrees, with heavy galvanised steel brackets to make the whole rigid and stable.
