The
seating for the Silver Spring Gateway
reflects the Art Deco style of the
Canada Dry building on the site.
The chairs and benches reference
the Art Deco Period through the
form of the furniture and the patterned “upholstery” of
the stone surface. Individual chairs
are surrounded by a plinth of glass
block with lighting from beneath.
