Studio Morison
Seafood Disco
Studio Morison have designed a long gently curving 60 seater picnic bench in the shape of a smile situated across from Pilot Walk along The Tide. It is a place for all to sit, admire The Thames, connect and have outdoor eating time.
The idea began in the studio with a bag of coconuts and the old Tommy Cooper joke, “I went to a seafood disco – and pulled a muscle”. The coconuts led to a playful form, built, with the recurring funfair motif of the hemisphere of the half coconut propping up stools and popping through table tops.
