Vol 1. Chapter 1…


In keeping with our new website, we at Street and Park Furniture have developed a hard-copy brochure, Custom Brochure Vol 1, showcasing all of the recent installations we have supplied.

These projects consist of products we have designed/co-designed/refined, manufactured and supplied. All using different materials, and manufacturing methods, like certified timber, architectural wedge wire mesh and cast and fabricated frames. We dealt direct with Councils and Landscape Architectural firms.
 
These projects and many more will be uploaded onto our website shortly under Projects and Products in our Custom heading. You will get an image, detailed description of each product or project, with the location and material listing. This portion of our website will be updated regularly as will our hard-copy brochure which will fit into our A5 black box specifiers manual.
For a copy of our Custom Brochure Vol. 1 and/or our Specifiers Manual please do not hesitate to contact Michelle Herbut on 0432 761 657 or Jessie Surace on 1800 688 367.

And in the Gold Corner…


…is Street and Park Furniture, who are the Gold Sponsors for the South Australian, Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Quiz Night! 

This promises to be a massive year as the presenters include AILA, NAG (New Architects and Graduates) and Future Net (Business Networking for Young Professionals). 

Street and Park Furniture is a long time attendee and sponsor to this event, and are looking forward to another great night.

Street and Park and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects National Conference!

Street and Park Furniture are proud to announce they are bronze sponsors of the 2011 AILA National Conference, which is being held at the Brisbane Convention Center 11-13th August.
This year’s event is all about climate change challenges, opportunities and urban design solutions. The theme for the event is ‘transform’. Transforming urban landscapes, attitudes and behaviour, communities and practice and education

Street and Park is keenly aware of transforming space as it frequently works with landscape architects as they design these spaces, re-using material that the space offers, such as timber and steel. The Queen Victoria Markets bench, designed by Urban Edge Consultants in Victoria is an excellent example in re-using old timber posts for timber slats.

Street and Park, a sponsor and mentor in the NAG Design Festival Competition


Street and Park Furniture is a proud South Australian based company and is happy to show its continued support to young designers, architects and landscape architects and events like this, Adelaide’s NAG (New Architects and Graduates) Design Festival Competition.  As a mentor and manufacturer for this competition, Street and Park were pleased and excited to be working with last year’s winner Sean Humphries on his winning design, the Folding Rundle suite of furniture, for the Rundle Street Upgrade in the cities east. 
The range was made from galvanised laser cut and folded mild steel. It also bought some challenges, like connecting a microphone and speakers to the leg and backrest for recording and playback, all without compromising the aesthetic. It was well worth it as we feel that for a conservative city, this innovative design shows the rest of Australia that South Australia means business…or design!
The range consists of seats, bike racks and soon to be installed benches.
