Why green your outdoor spaces?

Planters for street furniture play a central role in thedesign of public spaces. Whether in the city or in the workplace, creating planted areas helps combat heat islands caused by excessive concrete development.

What are the public’s expectations?

Beyond the aesthetic aspect, urban landscaping must respond to the aspirations of users: greater comfort, human interaction and the return of nature to the city. Integrating planters and landscaping into public spaces facilitates the creation of green, aesthetic and convivial zones, serving the well-being of residents.

What role do planters play in urban design?

Combined with a park bench, a pergola or simply installed for visual effect, urban planters form a central element. These items fulfil several functions:

Structuring space while integrating vegetation: modular and versatile, plant pots and tubs are a simple way of “greening” an area unsuitable for planting in the ground.
Demarcate a space: you can use ballast planters to demarcate a terrace, playground or picnic area, without the need for heavy infrastructure or major work.
Create a space for shade and coolness: models with trellises accommodate climbing plants, providing natural shade and an intimate atmosphere.
Embellish the city: urban planters help create a pleasant microclimate, while adding an aesthetic, green touch to public spaces.

Why create islands of freshness in the city or in the workplace?

In the face of rising global temperatures, particularly in heavily concreted areas, planted street furniture is becoming an essential tool. According to some studies, creating a cool island can reduce temperatures by several degrees in the area concerned.

How to provide shade in an urban environment?

Freestanding pergolas, shelters with planted partitions or covered picnic tables are all options for creating shaded areas in the city. These spaces are essential to protect the public during heatwaves, especially vulnerable people such as babies and young children, pregnant women and senior citizens.

Within a company, creating a shaded, planted break area optimizes the quality of life at work and boosts productivity.

How can we support biodiversity in the city?

Planters, pergolas, trellises and climbing plants bring nature back into urban spaces. Combined with resilient, climate-adapted planting choices, these urban landscapes promote biodiversity. Trees and flowers attract pollinators and other insects, which in turn are eaten by birds. A simple planter can thus become a veritable archipelago of urban wildlife.

Last but not least, this type of furniture offers residents a green refuge. This rejuvenating space in the heart of the concrete encourages exchanges and collective and civic initiatives, such as the creation of shared vegetable or flower gardens.

How to make the best use of street furniture?

Whether you’re planning a public garden or a company break area, the diversity of street furniture products means you can create any layout you want.

How do you create distinct spaces?

Planted street furniture (planters, pergolas, fences, etc.) lends itself well to the creation of distinct zones:

A relaxation area: benches, benches or deckchairs equipped with USB sockets, surrounded by a few flowerbeds.
A dining area to share: install a picnic table under a planted shade structure for maximum comfort.
A children’s play area: offer youngsters a green space where they can play in the shade while observing flowers and insects, to develop their sensitivity to the environment.

Add coordinating fences with opaque or transparent partitions or screens, or vegetated claustras, to create a space that’s both intimate and open to the city.

How can you personalize your furnishings through your choice of materials?

Street furniture materials should be chosen according to your aesthetic and functional needs. They must combine multiple qualities: durability, resistance to weather and vandalism, ease of maintenance, integration into the landscape…
