Case Study: Wishbone Industrial Arts at Town Hall Seattle

Project Overview

In alignment with Town Hall Seattle's vision of creating A Space for Us All, Wishbone Industrial Arts contributed to the venue's renovation by designing and fabricating key elements that blend functionality with artistic expression. Their work includes a sculptural stairwell installation, the modular furnishings and lighting in the Reading Room, and the inviting Otto Bar, each reflecting Town Hall's commitment to accessibility, adaptability, and community engagement.

Sculptural Stairwell Installation

Wishbone Industrial Arts crafted a vertical light installation in the stairwell, serving both as an artistic centerpiece and a functional lighting solution. This installation enhances the architectural flow of the building, guiding visitors between floors while embodying the venue's ethos of blending form and function. Each panel features site specific illustrations by artist/tattooist Shannon Perry.

Modular Reading Room

The Reading Room, designed for intimate gatherings, events, and discussions, features a modular layout created by Wishbone Industrial Arts. These moveable pieces allow for flexible configurations, accommodating various event types and promoting an inclusive atmosphere. The design aligns with Town Hall's goal of providing spaces that are both welcoming and adaptable.

Otto Bar

Adjacent to the Forum, the Otto Bar, designed by Wishbone Industrial Arts, offers a casual space for patrons to gather and converse. The bar's design incorporates elements that reflect the building's historical character while providing modern amenities, fostering a sense of community and continuity within the venue.

Conclusion

Wishbone Industrial Arts' contributions to Town Hall Seattle exemplify the successful integration of art, design, and community values. Through thoughtful craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the venue's mission, they have helped transform Town Hall into a space that is not only functional but also inspiring and inclusive.
