Seating and benching

There are myriad ways in which seating can be incorporated within a planter scheme, and a great many materials that can be used for the seating. 

Seating may be straight or curved or sinuous; it may be exposed, or inset into the planter to create secluded areas; and seating can be combined with any number of different planting schemes, big or small. And the material selection and design of the seating itself, can dramatically influence both the functionality and aesthetic. With modern CNC machining, for example, sculpting the individual timbers used for the seating, can elevate the perceived value-added on higher-end schemes.

Finally, once the general design is established, other design elements can easily be included: such as LED underlighting, seat backs, armrests, anti-skate board devices etc.

In addition to seating combined with planters, IOTA also supplies standalone seating.
