When a design exhibition/installation takes over your city, it always makes you look up and appreciate surroundings you generally take for granted; the ‘Corian Bench Inventions’ in Philadelphia is probably doing just that for many people right now.
Interior and specialty building products distributor, C.H Briggs has teamed up with DuPont and Philly architects, designers and fabricators to pull off this citywide expo. Crafting benches made only out of Corian materials, it was only natural that they would dub the project the ‘Corian Bench Inventions.’
