Three Talking Chairs - Chester Zoo The Talking Chairs at Chester Zoo were launched at Wild Worlds, a festival of art, gardens and science taking place throughout the summer of 2018. They chat to visitors about the zoo's animals and the plants grown specially for them. |

The Chair is surrounded by a pink and feathery Flamingo Garden. I collaborated with the zoo's horticulture team in designing gardens to surround the chairs. |

The Chair is shaped like a thorn bush, one of the animal's favourite foods in the wild. |
