Bespoke powder coated steel planters were commissioned for a corporate courtyard garden in the exclusive Östermalm district of central Stockholm, Sweden.
The planters included a large rectangular trough planter L 7500 x W 900 x H 700mm, supplied in 5nr. sections each of L 1500mm for assembly on-site; plus a smaller tree planter L 1000 x W 1000 x H 700mm. The planters were manufactured from 1.5mm thick Zintec steel, powder coated to RAL 9005 [Jet black]. IOTA was also responsible for export and transportation, including timed delivery to-the-door in Stockholm.
The courtyard garden was designed by Annika Zetterman of Zetterman Garden Design, with a brief to create a multi-purpose open-air space for functions, corporate events and staff breaks. The garden fully respects and accentuates the style and historical significance of the building; and the space is formal yet elegant, and the design utilises traditional materials such as paving of Swedish granite, a pergola of wrought iron, and furniture of oak. The lighting design gives the garden a totally different complexion at night, with the emphasis on the planting creating a green perimeter around a relaxed and intimate central space.
