Doncaster – Bennetthorpe Cenotaph

IOTA was commissioned by Doncaster City Council, to design, manufacture and supply ‘poppy planters’ for installation at the Bennethorpe War Memorial.

The planters were fabricated from 2mm Zintec Steel, powder coated to Tiger Drylac C34 bronze. The commemorative poppy design was achieved by laser-cutting the motif out of the side of the planters, and then applying a contrasting red backing plate inside. The planters were also designed to be movable by fork lift, via stainless steel-lined slots in the base.
