More than a place to sit, The Friends Forever Bench is an interactive contemporary sculpture by world-renowned public artists Gillie and Marc. Featuring their iconic characters Rabbitwoman and Dogman, the work invites visitors to take a seat between them—sparking conversations between friends, families, and even strangers.

Rabbitwoman and Dogman tell an autobiographical story of two opposites who come together to become best friends and soulmates. As unlikely companions in the animal kingdom, the Rabbit and the Dog are a powerful symbol of diversity, acceptance, and love.

The Friends Forever Bench celebrates difference rather than fear or division. It offers a moment to pause, connect, and open yourself to another with kindness and friendship—two of the most important forces in the world. Whether you sit to share a conversation, make a new friend, or simply capture a photo to commemorate a special bond, this sculpture invites you to become part of Rabbitwoman and Dogman’s story.

The sculpture is now a permanent installation at the Gale Hotel, where it continues to bring people together through art, love, and connection.
