Here’s the bench that will be all over Port Covington

According to Sagamore Development and BOPA, that is. Dean Brown's "Cleat Bench" won a national competition to design outdoor public seating in Port Covington.

The many benches declaring Baltimore “The Greatest City in America” now have a successor.
Port Covington‘s sidewalks will sport the Cleat Bench, created by 25-year-old South Baltimore resident Dean Brown, a designer at the Design Collective. The prototype was built with OE Custom and Ludwig Design.
Selected by a jury following a nationwide call, the sleek, wooden benches are designed in the shape of a boat cleat. Leaders at Kevin Plank-backed Sagamore Development and city arts office BOPA, who ran the competition for the “Next Great Baltimore Bench,” said the benches will fit in with the waterfront surroundings of Port Covington.
It doesn’t appear the benches will have a slogan.
