The Royal Exchange, London EC3

Custom-made powder coated steel planters were commissioned for The Royal Exchange – a City landmark, and one of London’s most iconic buildings.

The planters serve to create green and intimate spaces in seating alcoves around the Threadneedle Bar on the mezzanine floor; and, on the ground floor, the planters surround the Grand Café bar in the courtyard, separating it from the shops in the ambulatory.

A total of 20 bespoke trough planters were supplied, of dims. L 1100 x W 425 x H 700mm, and L 600 x W 425 x H 900mm. The planters were manufactured from 3mm thick Zintec steel, polyester powder coated to RAL 7048 [Pearl mouse grey].  The planters were sealed watertight internally for indoor use.
