The Benchmark Commission

The Benchmark Commission is an urban furniture programme that redefines contemporary public space through the use of utilitarian art that makes the area more welcoming and demarcates the area.

 

This artistic commission of urban furniture sees each bench funded by a corporate in the area with the emphasis on the art and functionality of the piece and not the corporate branding. Each corporate chooses their own artist and the project is managed by Sandton Central. A plaque containing artist information, design descriptions and the sponsor logo is designed as part of each commission, tying all the benches together and enabling branding returns in an appropriate manner. The corporates in Sandton Central have been very supportive of this initiative with the following companies sponsoring benches:

- The Sandton Central Management District
- Bowman Gilfillan
- Rand Merchant Bank
- The Johannesburg Stock Exchange
- Nelson Mandela Square
