These set of 6 benches are sculpted to look like 3 pairs of eyes. The sculpted benches were gifted to the park from the artist when she was commissioned to design the "Father and Son" fountain.
Each set is designed with a bench molded into the back of it, and one pair (shown in the default photo) also has a sitting area on the front. The benches were created by Italian stonemasons from Borgeois's design out of black Zimbabwe granite.
