LAUNCH DATE: March 2024

"DON'T LET GO" designed by Claire Cerato

This design is inspired by the artist's mental health journey and her mantra of "Don't let go". The hands symbolize the need for connection and purpose, while native Australian trees represent the uplifting impact of nature with their show of colour when they flower.  The design aims to convey a sense of belonging and the importance of finding something that keeps us going through challenges.

The  bench is made from recycled plastic by Replas - Recycled Plastic Products and aims to minimise the amount of plastics ending up in landfill & in our precious waterways​​
