SEMI-FINALISTS ANNOUNCED IN ‘STREET SEATS’ COMPETITION

A three legged bench anchored into Fort Point’s docks, “The Wharf Bench” was inspired by designer Jesse Shaw’s boyhood trip to Boston.
The design facilitates easy communication between two users, as they are positioned at a 45-degree angle from one another.
“Our history was built upon wharves like Fort Point,” said Shaw, who works for Currey and Company, in Decatur, Ga.
