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.
