An Extra-Long Seated Planter for Larger Public Spaces
The Blox Extra Long Seated Planter is a linear planter bench designed for settings that require longer runs of seating. Its extended profile makes it well-suited to open public realm environments, helping define space while offering ample seating for groups without interrupting pedestrian movement.
Typical applications include:
- Public squares and plazas
- Town centres and high streets
- Transport interchanges and concourses
- Education campuses and courtyards
- Commercial developments and civic forecourts
The elongated format allows the unit to function as both seating and a subtle spatial divider.
Seating and Planting in a Continuous Layout
As one of the Blox seating planters, this design integrates timber seating with planting in a continuous, linear arrangement. The planting elements can be positioned at the ends or incorporated as intermediate modules, allowing the balance between seating and greenery to be tailored to the site.
Design benefits include:
- Long, uninterrupted seating runs for group use
- Integrated planting that softens hard landscaping
- Clear, linear geometry suited to formal or informal layouts
- A configuration that supports both rest and social interaction
This approach makes the unit effective in high-footfall environments where clarity and capacity are important.
Modular Planter Seating with Flexible Configuration
The Extra Long Seated Planter is designed as modular planter seating, enabling it to be adapted to suit a wide range of spatial requirements. Modules can be specified with or without planters, and units can be installed individually or combined to form extended seating arrangements.
Modular advantages include:
- Optional end planters to frame seating runs
- Intermediate planters to break up long seating lengths
- Compatibility with other Blox benches and planters
- Flexibility to reconfigure layouts over time
This modularity supports both structured landscape designs and more informal public spaces.
Durable Timber Construction for Public Realm Use
Manufactured for long-term external use, the seating and planter elements are produced from FSC®-certified timber, available in treated softwood or durable Iroko hardwood. These materials are selected for their resilience and ability to maintain visual quality in exposed environments.
Material highlights include:
- FSC®-certified treated softwood or Iroko hardwood options
- Timber chosen for durability and weather resistance
- Finishes suited to low-maintenance public realm settings
- Components designed for frequent, unsupervised use
This ensures the unit performs reliably as part of busy street furniture planters schemes.
