Street Furniture Planters

The term ‘street furniture’ covers a wide array of equipment

which is designed and installed for the safety and convenience of the public. This can include planters, which are often used to serve both a practical as well as a decorative function.

Within a street furniture scheme for a public space, IOTA's heavy duty planters

can perform a wide range of functions – such as the following (illustrated in the image gallery):

– to create a protective screen between a busy road and a pavement
– to guide the flow of pedestrians along a preferred route
– to act as a vehicular barrier, for example to prevent kerb mounting
– to safeguard a pavement trip hazard
– to demarcate the boundary of public vs. private areas

With a clean modern aesthetic, IOTA’s Granite planters

are increasingly specified as street furniture – as a stylish, and often cheaper, alternative to more utilitarian planters in concrete, composite or metal.

The granite stone used by IOTA is extremely strong,

and the surface is highly resistant to physical attack. In addition, graffiti is easily removed, and the granite’s close granular structure means that minor damage is not readily apparent – all factors enhancing the material’s suitability for use in urban, municipal and civic environments.

In addition to stock lines, IOTA offers a custom manufacture service

in a range of natural stones. This service is not limited to planters, and can include other items of street furniture (such as chairs, benches etc.), and orders can be delivered worldwide on an all-inclusive DDP [Delivered Duty Paid] basis. Quotes for custom manufacture are provided against receipt of a detailed design specification, and IOTA generally does not provide creative consultancy or design origination services.
