Vitrified Italian mosaic glass

Commissioned in 1999, these items of street furniture are designed to reflect Bondi’s culture and heritage. The mosaics show the natural environment and the area's distinctive beach lifestyle. Depictions include the famous Bondi lifesavers in their original uniforms, surfers riding waves, brightly coloured kites from the popular Festival of the Winds, the renowned Bondi Tram (which coined the expression 'shoot through like a Bondi tram') and the arches of the Bondi Pavilion.

The southmost yellow items of street furniture were created by Lloyd Kelemen and acted as a structural prototype for the rest of the series.
