ROUNDTABLE is a circular gathering space designed for formal and informal conversation, located near Moorgate Station, close to landmarks like the Barbican and Smithfield Market.
Inspired by historical forms of debate, such as UK’s first recorded ‘parliament’ under an Oak tree in Sherwood Forest, and more contemporaries such as the roundtable in the UN’s Security Council Chamber in Norway; it promotes horizontality and democratic participation in the street.

The table is crafted from modular pre-fabricated and found elements, such as industrial concrete pipes, decking panels and utility poles.
Plants housed in the table carry stories of origin, narrating the movement of people to the UK, representing the vibrant multi-cultural communities of London.
