2020, the year for hand washing, zoom calls and social distancing. But getting people outside continues to be a really important part of our mission and if lockdown confirms anything; it’s how precious our outdoor spaces are and their importance for our mental and physical well-being.
There are compelling reasons why schools and colleges should make more of their external learning environments.
We explore the importance of street furniture within the public realm.
Uniun offers a contemporary approach to seating and planting for both internal and external spaces. Formed upon a rotationally-moulded base, the module can be used as a full planter, or combined with an Iroko laminated timber bench top to create a seating module or combined seating and planter module.
Elements began as a standard-sized seating product only but given its popularity since launch, and in response to client comments and requirements, we have significantly expanded the range to include wider, narrower and higher seating options.
We are delighted to be able to sponsor our contemporary RailRoad Edge bench to garden designers, Pro Gardens for their New York High Line inspired show garden ‘The Low Line’. The garden will feature at this year’s Malvern Spring Festival taking place on 5th - 8th May 2016.
At Furnitubes we are passionate about street furniture, we take a look at why we think a bench is more than just a bench in the world of street furniture.
Planters provide ways for shrubs, herbaceous and flowering plants and grasses to be introduced into public spaces where planting would not otherwise be possible. Introducing greenery improves public areas by softening the landscape, encouraging people to stay and enjoy, and even contributes to improving public health. With a wide range of standalone styles, and planter benches and seats available, it's never been easier to create green spaces in our cities and towns.
Whether it’s bollards, benches or bins, street furniture can fulfil the practical requirements of almost any site or scheme. When selected elements are compatible, designed to work together and also functional, street furniture can enhance an area and improve accessibility. Cleverly chosen elements and intelligent placement improves the public realm and aids in the drive to minimise clutter.
Curves, wave forms and serpentine shapes on landscape schemes are incredibly popular, often used to entice and draw people in, as the eye has a natural tendency to follow around, beyond and to the conclusion of a curved shape.
Explore the possibilities of creating your own unique curve, wave and serpentine designs with the RailRoad seating range, the ultimate in adaptable street furniture.
