Felton Ribbon Range

A collection of outdoor furniture suitable for urban streetscapes and parklands, including benches, tables, and bin enclosures. Durable and elegant, the concept was intended to create harmonious public spaces that feel warm and inviting despite a minimal aesthetic. Evolving into the Caring for Country Range, a collaboration with Indigenous artist Billyara, it integrates culturally significant artwork to educate communities on Aboriginal culture and sustainable land management practices.

The designs feature a distinctive open-loop frame, Blackbutt timber battens, and complies with Australian Standards, prioritising functionality, durability, and ease of transport, installation, and serviceability. The mid-price point collection offers long-term value, and through QR codes linking to educational content, the Caring for Country Range invites councils, schools, and organisations to invest in furniture that fosters cultural awareness, engagement, and connection. The collection is proudly Australian-made and supports regional employment, transforming public spaces into meaningful meeting places.

This project was awarded Good Design Australia Award Winner in 2023.

The project was completed in 2021 by the team at Vert Design Sydney and Felton Industries, and their Australia-based manufacturing partners.
