A Versatile Planter Bench for Contemporary Public Spaces
The Blox Bench Seated Planter is a clean, linear bench planter designed to provide seating while subtly incorporating planting into the surrounding environment. Its straightforward form makes it easy to specify across a wide range of public realm projects, from compact streetscapes to larger civic spaces.
Typical applications include:
- Town centres and high streets
- Public squares and plazas
- Transport interchanges and pedestrian routes
- Commercial developments and office frontages
- Education campuses and community spaces
The combination of seating and planting helps define space without introducing visual clutter.
Straight Timber Seating with Integrated Planting
As a seated planter, this unit brings together comfortable bench seating and optional end planters in a single, cohesive structure. The planting elements frame the seating and help soften hard landscaping, creating a more inviting place to sit.
Design benefits include:
- Straight bench seating suitable for short rests or longer dwell
- Optional end planters to introduce greenery at pedestrian level
- A balanced layout that works as a standalone item or in series
- Clear sightlines that support safe use in busy environments
This makes the unit particularly effective where seating is needed without enclosing space.
Durable Timber Construction for Outdoor Use
The seating elements are manufactured from FSC®-certified timber, available in treated softwood or durable Iroko hardwood. These materials are selected for their ability to perform well in exposed outdoor conditions while maintaining the warmth and tactility associated with natural timber.
Material features include:
- FSC®-certified treated softwood or Iroko hardwood options
- Timber chosen for durability and low maintenance
- Finishes suited to long-term public realm installation
- Components designed for repeated daily use
The result is a planter with bench that balances robustness with visual quality.
