Skystation is a unique seating project resulting from an innovative interdisciplinary collaboration between artist Peter Newman and Futurecity. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s LC4 Chaise Longue, the Skystation is a circular outdoor seat with contours intended to fit the human form. Skystation is able to provide seating for up to 12 people and comes with a proven track record of use in public spaces.
The first permanent installation of Skystation took place in Cambridge in 2010. Commissioned by Miller Homes, Skystation provides the centrepiece of George Nuttall Close Park.
Skystation was successfully launched at the Hayward Gallery at London’s South Bank in July 2009, where the prototype was exhibited as part of Peter Newman’s solo exhibition. Skystation has also been exhibited in Trafalgar Square, St Mary Axe (Lloyds Building), Canary Wharf and at the New Art Centre sculpture park.
