Zoo Benches

We designed and built two benches for the new African Plains Exhibit at the Boise Zoo.


This bench featured carved animals and acacia trees around the top.











This bench had an allover repeating shield pattern.
Both benches had spaces for plaques to recognize the bench sponsors.

Eagle Bench

The City of Eagle invited artists to submit proposals for benches to be sponsored by local businesses and the Eagle Arts Commission (http://eaglearts.org/About-EAC/Public-Art.html). One of our bench designs was chosen. The bench is on Aiken St. in front of a small commercial building. The design is an abstract representation of cottonwood trunks along the Boise River at Merrill Park in Eagle.
