An Angular Planter Bench for Structured Public Spaces
The Blox Mirrored Angular Seated Planter is a contemporary bench planter designed to introduce structure and rhythm into outdoor layouts. Its mirrored, angular geometry allows seating elements to be arranged in opposing or complementary formations, making it well-suited to spaces where defined zones and clear movement patterns are required.
Typical applications include:
- Town centres and pedestrianised streets
- Public squares and civic forecourts
- Commercial developments and office landscapes
- Education campuses and courtyards
- Regeneration and placemaking projects
The angular design provides a strong visual identity while remaining practical for everyday use.
Seating and Planting Combined in a Single Element
As a seated planter, this unit integrates timber seating with planting in a single, coordinated structure. The planters frame the seating areas, helping to define space and soften surrounding hard surfaces without enclosing users.
Design benefits include:
- Angular seating profiles that create clear spatial definition
- Integrated planting to introduce greenery at pedestrian level
- Mirrored form that supports symmetrical or staggered layouts
- Open sightlines that maintain visibility and safety
This balance makes the unit effective in busy public environments where clarity and comfort are equally important.
Modular Configuration for Flexible Layouts
The Blox Mirrored Angular unit is designed as a modular planter with seating, allowing it to be configured with end planters, intermediate sections or repeated modules. This modularity enables designers to tailor seating arrangements to suit site-specific requirements.
Modular advantages include:
- Ability to create linear, zig-zag or mirrored seating runs
- Optional end and intermediate planters for added greenery
- Compatibility with other Blox seating and planter elements
- Flexibility to adapt layouts as spaces evolve
This approach supports both small-scale installations and larger public realm schemes.
Comfort and Accessibility Options
Seating elements can be specified with optional armrests to enhance comfort and accessibility. These features support inclusive design, particularly in environments with a diverse range of users.
Comfort considerations include:
- Timber seating designed for short rests or longer dwell times
- Optional armrests to assist sitting and standing
- Angular geometry that encourages informal group use
- Seating heights suitable for public realm applications
These options help ensure the seating remains practical and welcoming.
Durable Materials for Street Furniture Applications

Material highlights include:
- FSC®-certified treated softwood or Iroko hardwood options
