‘Is interchangeable furniture the future for adaptable outdoor spaces?’
Interchangeable furniture is based around a series of standard ‘mix and match’ components, or ‘elements’, that offer you the maximum choice of styles, sizes, materials and features when designing outdoor spaces. The main benefit of this approach is that with many 1000s of possible combinations, your selection is tailored specifically to suit your site and the end product is likely to be a truly unique solution.

What can outdoor furniture contribute to your car park design?
In busy car parks such as those outside large supermarkets, protecting pedestrians from the high volume of vehicles is vital. This is why outdoor furniture is necessary – to provide a safe environment for public use. This can be achieved in the following ways:
Well-placed bin provision reduces litter on our streets
Litter is a huge problem in many areas, particularly on our residential and town centre streets. Despite warnings and the treat of fines for littering, people continue to drop litter, especially fast food packaging. Strategic placement of litter bins in areas where litter is an issue enables the public to dispose of their rubbish easily.
Using furniture in a dynamic way can help make the best use of outdoor spaces
Outdoor furniture doesn’t need to be standard or boring. In fact, dynamic furniture can even add practical benefits as well as an interesting appearance. A combination of pieces could make up the requirements for the area, or a single piece of furniture could even add to the aesthetics of the surroundings.
How street furniture contributes to a safe and practical neighbourhood
The use of street furniture in any residential development contributes to the character, appearance and the safety of the area. There are many elements which come together to make an overall more pleasant living space, whether it is a large community project, a small neighbourhood or a just an individual block of flats.
The role of street furniture in improving public transport
Street furniture plays a distinct role in building the aesthetics surrounding areas of public transport. Railways and other transport interchanges such as bus stops contain furniture that both adds to the appearance of the area and has a practical function. Street furniture can be the element which brings new life to rail, bus cycle and road networks across the UK.
What difference can street furniture make to hospitals?
Hospitals are not always the most pleasant places to be. For patients and visitors, an outside space, whether it’s a garden or the area outside of the hospital building, can be a haven. Making this space look nice and provide a comfortable place for patients, staff and visitors is important to improving the overall ethos and atmosphere of the hospital.
Back to school! Which outdoor furniture is ideal for the playground?
What do you think of when you think of the school playground? Whatever you’re imagining, there are some essentials which are important for the playground to function as it does. There are a few features which are a necessity within an outside educational setting serving a practical purpose and keeping the outside space pleasant and enjoyable.
