Mosaic Seating

Mosaic seating

To create low cost but highly individual seating - Which is near vandal proof!

Working with groups of children or adults (or a mix!) we can create mosaic seating from:
  • New
  • Refurbish existing seating
  • Create curved seating (similar to Gaudi's mosaics in Barcelona)
  • Add extras in like a barbeque, picnic table, plant containers
  • dedede
Mosaic seating:
  • Organisations, community groups and schools are able to create the mosaic seating from start to finish.
  • Created by yourselves there's no need for builders or seating firms to be involved.
  • Constructed using concrete breeze blocks built onto an existing hard surface or a new foundation.
  • The size and design of the seating is based on whole blocks and so there is no need for any cutting of these blocks & the mortar joints need not be perfect since they will be covered with tiles
  • Finally timber decking or blanks are fitted to the top to act as the seating.
  • Refurbish existing seating that uses brick or breeze blocks and cover in mosaics.
  • To reduce the risk of vandalism
  • By having the seating created by local children or adults.
  • The only part which can be burnt is the wooden seating (which could easily be replaced)
  • It's unlikely to be graffitied or tagged as its low and colourful - and could be cleaned off
  • As the seating is a completely solid structure any tiles that are somehow broken off then can be easily re-mosaiced or replaced
Making mosaic seating in this way can:
  • Help to improve an individual's self esteem, motivation, ownership, inclusion.
  • Working together as a group to improve teamwork, communication, community presence
Criminal Police Check and Other Qualifications:
  • A full enhanced police check
  • F.A.E.T.C. Stage 2 Teaching Certificate
  • City & Guilds 9281 (Numeracy)
  • N.V.Q. D32/33. Assessor
