Terrace Art Benches Pasalubong Passage at Mercy Housing in San Francisco exemplifies what we love to do at One Hat One Hand.

Artist Leah Rosenberg  brought us her vision for a long row of playful metal benches designed to withstand the elements and endure for years to come. Having collaborated with Leah on her stunning 'Everywhere a Color' installation, we understood the critical importance of delivering a flawless surface that would receive color precisely and reflect her artistic intentions perfectly.

Leveraging our deep materiality expertise, our in-house design and fabrication team tackled site-specific challenges head-on, crafting the benches from the finest stainless steel with precision welding that ensured seamless straight lines, clean seams, and sharp corner details. We applied a highly advanced, durable coating engineered to preserve the vibrancy and integrity of the color against weather and wear. 

The result is a highly functional and long-lasting piece of public art that brings joy to the community—and remains one of our proudest projects to date.
