As 2015 draws to a close, the team at Furnitubes take a moment to look back over the past 12 months. It's been an exciting year, with various improvements and updates made to existing products and ranges, as well as the introduction of some brand new products and designs. We also take a look back at some of our favourite projects of the last year.
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.
Over the past few weeks, Furnitubes has seen a number of interesting projects come to life, with our street furniture creating impact all over the UK!
Here are some of our most recent favourites...
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.

Curved seating and circular arrangements are increasingly popular on many landscape schemes. The use of curves and circles serves a visual or practical purpose, adding significant interest to designs.
Explore the possibilities of using modular seating to create your own circles, curves and unique designs and see some of the numerous configurations and options that can be formed with the RailRoad seating range.
Furnitubes launch the new RailRoad seating range - the ultimate in modern, flexible seating design. Based on a series of interchangeable straight and curved modules, and inspired by railways and model train sets, the range is designed to be joined together to create seamless runs of continuous seating.
Furnitubes will be exhibiting at the Landscape Show 2015 in Battersea Park in September, where we are proud to be launching a new product range as part of the "SmartSpace" collection.
Meet the team on stand C49 and be one of the first to view this new, highly flexible range of street furniture and see how the adaptable nature of our SmartSpace products can contribute to the aesthetics of almost any location.
Guardrails are designed to control the flow, and improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, and also to visually assist in keeping vehicles off footways, discourage parking, and generally separate pedestrians from vehicular traffic.
The key to success for railings and guardrails is a detailed assessment of their placement, where the risks must be carefully weighed up against their protective qualities.
The use of gabions in outdoor spaces is nothing new, having served a number of purposes through history. Originally made of wicker, some of the earliest reported uses are of the Ancient Egyptians utilising these cages to protect the banks of the River Nile.
