City of London Corporation, Cursitor Street, London EC4A

Large, bespoke, Corten Steel planters were commissioned for the City of London Corporation, for its Chancery Lane Area Enhancement Scheme.

Manufactured from 4.0mm Corten Steel, supplied pre-weathered, the planters are of ‘planted perimeter’ construction, open to the ground. The planters are Height 650mm and up to 8.4m in diameter; and are internally reinforced, for fastening down to a concrete foundation.

IOTA planters were commissioned by F M Conway on behalf of the City of London Corporation. The essential design concept was developed by the City of London Corporation; and IOTA's responsibilities covered design detailing and development, value engineering, manufacture, supply and installation.

The main objective of the Chancery Lane Area Enhancement Scheme is to create a public realm that is of the highest quality, whilst making the area more widely accessible and pleasant for workers, residents and visitors in the area. The scheme included pedestrianising a central section of Chancery Lane; as well as some of the side streets off Chancery Lane, including Cursitor Street, where IOTA’s planters are now installed.
