There is nothing better than a good story and the physical proof to back up its fantastical posturing, which the existence of the Hear Hears does for a fable about giants. Although many people would agree that giants never existed, the Hear Hears would prove otherwise to some. They are four huge metal horns that were created to listen to the gentle sounds giants would make in the forest.
Inspired by the Kedleston legend, Studio Weave created the Hear Hears, which were said to have been designed by ancient scientists. Instead of listening for giants, the Hear Hears "encourage people to explore the landscape and expend energy, but at the same time offer spaces for moments of quiet reflection and soaking up the sounds and sights of this extraordinary setting," according to the designers.
