Electric Wig designs seating for The Hub

Liverpool-based Electric Wig has designed seating for The Hub, a national centre for design and craft in Lincolnshire that opened this month. Inspired by people’s activities in gallery environments, such as note-taking or drawing exhibits, the beechwood bench includes a raised surface at each end, on which people can draw or write, and a child’s version features a back for children to scribble on. ‘The seating becomes a tool that works with the exhibits,’ explains Electric Wig partner Johanna Van Daalen.
