letter bench by boex



the letter bench by boex was designed for an entrance of a hospital in bristol, england, UK.
the public seating has been designed in the shape of a postcard with an actual letter from
a patient that has been hand carved into its surface:

'...I would like you to know what a wonderful job all the members of staff on that ward
are doing, they were kind, polite and caring, no job was too much for them to make
my stay on the ward as comfortable as possible.'
