Bank of Canton Zug, Anniversary Bench

 

In celebration of the 111th anniversary of the Bank of Canton Zug, Patrick Lindon Industrial Design was invited to design and produce 111 park benches which were distributed throughout the canton. The two and a half meter long benches are majestic in form, and are made of robust, solid oak.

Ready for refinement

A stack of assembled benches await finishing.

Sanding by hand

Quality craftsmanship involves attention to detail and an instinctive feeling for the materials.

Almost finished

The adjustable feet are silconed into place to allow movement and flexibility with the wood. Then comes a natural finish with linseed oil.

In the public realm

The 111 benches each found a home, scattered throughout the Canton of Zug. These two are set in front of a town barn of Baar, a venue for concerts and exhibitions.
