Special linear seating in FSC iroko hardwood and galvanised steel - Aldgate Park, London.
For this project, Street Design worked in conjunction with the landscape design company and the contractor, to develop the outdoor seating for a new public park created in Aldgate, London.

EDEN PROJECT |

Special design planters with inner planting trays for The Eden Project
As designers and manufacturers, Street Design was asked to design, manufacture and supply planters to the Eden Project in Cornwall.
The brief was to create circular and rectangular planters that incorporated removable inner planter trays and specimen plants in circular pots. The inner trays were to allow the staff at the Eden Project to plant new trays in the greenhouse, developing the plants before removing the existing trays in the planters and replacing them with the newly planted trays. Due to the shapes that were required, Street Design recommended the Swithland vertical board planter should be used for the scheme. They were manufactured in Red Cedar, the clients’ specified material.
The Red Cedar slats were bolted to an internal mild steel frame. The frame incorporated a raised base to support the planting trays. The Red Cedar slats were left natural, eventually turning a light, silver-grey colour. The planting trays were manufactured from coated sheet steel and were detailed to allow precise positioning of the shallow trays and the deeper circular pots.
