After checking in with our US office and phone centre, Juanita began a series of meetings with San Francisco architects and landscape architects, to show #BackyardExperiment and the new Build Aria augmented reality app.

This included lunch-and-learn sessions with SWA Group in the city and Sausalito offices, breakfast with HOK and morning tea at WRT.

Juanita was also pleased to meet with Gensler and James Corner Field Operations.

A trip to Street Furniture Australia’s first project in San Francisco, Mission Dolores Park, found the Classic Plaza seats, benches and tables still in great shape after three to five years in the public domain.

Sample boxes include castings, colour swatches and battens.

Sample packs were in high demand, and we are thrilled to now be included in company libraries in LA and San Francisco.

We will return to the US in April 2019. If you are interested in booking a presentation for your team, please email info@streetfurniture.com or enquire now.
