Domkyrkoplan, a park in central Gothenburg, was part of a citywide regeneration scheme carried out collaboratively by the city planners and parks administrators. As Domkyrkoplan was transformed into a contemporary park, it continued to retain features that reference its 150-year history. Nola was commissioned to produce a custom-made backed bench designed in conjunction with 02 Landskap. The bench was subsequently named Long, and it curves graciously through the park where it traces the main pathway. Painted in a custom colour, the bench blends into the surrounding greenery, yet complements the historic architecture behind it.
