City of Westminster Council commissioned IOTA to develop a combination planter/bench design, for a prospective scheme for South Molton Street in London.
The concept was to be based on IOTA’s Stratos design in granite, which contrasts central panels of vertically-ridged stone with smooth polished edges. The Stratos Planter/Bench can be combined with any of the Stratos stock designs within IOTA’s granite planter range – such as the Stratos Cube Planter or Stratos Column Planter.
The two planter sections are W/D 500 x H 800mm, and the central bench section is L 2000 x W 400mm x H 500mm. To minimise transportation costs, the planter/bench is supplied disassembled, with on-site assembly being very straightforward (see Image Gallery for assembly process). The Council specified a central barrier in the middle of the bench as an anti-sleeping measure, and anti-skateboard fittings could also easily be fitted.
IOTA’s granite street seating and granite planters are ideal for public spaces, delivering a clean modern aesthetic with exceptional value and durability. The stone used is highly resistant to physical attack, graffiti is easily removed, and its close granular structure means that minor damage is not readily apparent.
