East Quay
Free to Apply
Closing: 30th January 2026
East Quay is inviting proposals from architects, craftspeople, artists and designers to create a new piece of outdoor furniture for their unique building in Watchet, West Somerset. The furniture will be installed on the terrace outside one of their bespoke accommodation Pods, offering a place for guests and members of the public to sit and enjoy the coastal atmosphere.
The commission fee is £3,000 (inclusive of VAT) to support development, build and delivery, covering all expenses including research time, development, materials, fabrication, transportation and on-site installation. The selected applicant will also receive a £300 contribution towards travel expenses and the offer to stay in one of the accommodation pods for two nights while the furniture is being installed.
Previous experience of working with outdoor sculpture or in public spaces is beneficial but not essential, and collaborative proposals are welcome (though the commission fee remains the same). The selected maker is responsible for delivering and leading the installation of the furniture, with East Quay’s team available to assist if needed.
