Welcome to Deckchair Dreams
The Royal Parks Foundation, the charity for London's eight Royal Parks, celebrates the fourth year of Deckchair Dreams, a fantastic public art adventure sponsored by Bloomberg, extended this year to include an educational exchange with Shanghai Botanical Garden.

In 2010, British and Chinese artists have created designs based on a 'seed theme'. Their deckchairs will be on display in the Royal Parks and the Shanghai Botanical Garden during the summer. The adventure also incorporates an educational programme in London and Shanghai - helping school children, plus a group of older people, explore the natural world and its portrayal through art. Their designs will also be reproduced as deckchairs in the Parks.

Since 2006, an eclectic mix of 70 visionary artists, cartoonists, fashion and interior designers, thespians, celebrity chefs, singers and taxidermists, children from nine schools and members of the Household Cavalry have helped to make Deckchair Dreams a reality. Together they have designed 81 original deckchairs that celebrate the trees, wildlife, and other rare and wonderful things of London's eight Royal Parks. They bring joy to the Parks and allow visitors to relax on works of art.
