David Worthington transforms 20 Gresham Street into a public gallery

Vast travertine ‘boulder benches’ created by Sculptor David Worthington in collaboration with John Robertson Architects (JRA), and Bill Amberg Studio and have been revealed at 20 Gresham Street in the City of London’s Guildhall complex. Renowned Sculptor David Worthington was commissioned to create four ‘sculptural benches’ for visitors. Worthington collaborated closely with JRA to design a series of travertine benches measuring up to five metres in length and weighing up to 2.5 tons. During the two-year long project, Worthington spent time in Pietrasanta near Carrara – working with Marble Projects (founded by artist Kevin Francis Gray) – and sourced Tuscan travertine from S.I.T.I. Quarry in southern Tuscany to harmonise with 20 Gresham Street’s interior architect
