Embedded into the mosaic furniture are unique steel arm rests. They swirl and undulate like a wave in motion. Similarly, the traffic rail adjacent to Lamrock Avenue has been inspired by the movement and gestures of waves.

Chris Rak has over 16 years experience in creating medium to large scale sculptures for both the private and public sector. Chris has studied both sculpture and interior architecture.

Chris says his passion lay in the challenge of achieving a harmonious relationship between object and space and witnessing the ongoing transformation and experiential qualities they share.

Chris regularly collaborates with other artists including his wife, Kathryn Robson and the artist behind Bondi's mosaic street furniture, Helen Bodycombe.
