The Urban Pause Furniture Collection represents a transformative approach to enhancing public spaces through sustainable and versatile design.

This modular furniture system was developed using a place-led strategy to redefine Canberra’s urban landscape. It promotes both aesthetic appeal and functionality while fostering social connections within the community.

The Urban Pause collection celebrates Australian design, prioritising materials that ensure durability and longevity. Each piece was thoughtfully crafted to withstand public use demands while maintaining a solid commitment to sustainability. The system allows for ease of disassembly, repair, and recycling, making it adaptable to the evolving needs of the urban environment.

This project strategically revitalised three key public locations in Canberra, converting them from mere walkthrough spaces into inviting areas that encourage lingering and interaction. By increasing dwell time and enhancing the overall user experience, the Urban Pause collection stimulated local businesses and reinforced a deeper sense of community.

The Urban Pause Furniture Collection is vital to Canberra’s urban development, ensuring these spaces thrive and remain accessible and inclusive for years to come.
