Cursive LA is inspired by the city of Los Angeles and uses the abbreviation LA to tie together the 9 selected park sites in the city.

The knots of of the design imply the bringing together of people, community and diversity. Cursive LA comes in a set of 2 that include the letters “L” and “A.” The letters are tubular, sculptural seating that allow park goers to sit at slightly varying heights.
