CARTOON BENCHES FOR ARTIST D*FACE

We recently worked with artist D*Face to create these cartoon benches, featuring a classic blue and pink retro rubber seat and Mickey Mouse style feet.

This was a challenging fabrication that used several different processes, from cad design, metal welding and tube bending, to poly sculpting, mold making, casting in both fibre glass resin and jesmonite.

A mild steel frame created a solid base, each leg having its own unique profile bend to create a distinctive walking stance. Each foot was hand carved and cast in fibre glass, to be hard-wearing and resilient to knocks and bumps. The main rubber seat was formed from pigment dyed Jesmonite, providing a smooth surface that is both durable and tactile to touch.

We loved the final finish of these pieces, which will be on display in the Art’otel, Shoreditch London.
