Easter eggs – not just hand-painted, but in an extraordinary XXL format.

We already introduced you to the kaleidoscope of Easter eggs offered by our company, and today, we’re thrilled to share a captivating visual journey with you! Behold a stunning collection of photographs showcasing remarkable XXL Easter eggs, passionately painted by schools, kindergartens, local artists, and communities. From the heart of Polish cities to the vibrant streets of Germany and even Austria, we’ve handpicked a selection of the most exquisite images to present this vibrant mosaic through a series of galleries. Interestingly, these hand-painted Easter eggs have sparked various social initiatives, including egg auctions for animal shelters, showcasing the power of creativity for a cause. And there’s more to discover!

Let’s embark on our colorful journey, beginning in the enchanting Karpacz:

In Karpacz, traditional Easter motifs converged with the creativity of local artists and children, resulting in a unique palette of colors. These decorations exuded the charm of spring and mirrored the distinctive character of the city. Engaging children in the initiative, Karpacz also hosted an Easter egg-themed outdoor game, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. A testament to the fact that unforgettable experiences can be crafted while preserving local culture

Now, let us introduce you to the town of Kozienice:

In the Kozienice, the tradition of adorning the city with large, hand-painted, giant eggs has evolved into an increasingly thrilling annual tradition. Initially led by local artists, the initiative expanded to welcome community talents through a competition. This not only encouraged active participation but also empowered residents to express their artistic flair!

Next stop – Racibórz:

Racibórz entrusted its residents, who wholeheartedly embraced the initiative to paint extra large eggs. Witnessing the explosion of colors and the outdoor gallery, one can’t help but appreciate the fantastic idea!

Kórnik – Brzesko:

The Brzeski Rynek came alive with splendid decorations – large Easter eggs. Purchased by the City Hall, they were adorned by local artists collaborating with the Municipal Cultural Center’s staff. Ranging from a 1.5-meter giant to few others at 75 centimeters each, these Easter decorations not only beautified the surroundings but also infused the residents with a festive spirit, emphasizing the beauty of community and local collaboration.

Have you discovered the Easter eggs in Strzelce Krajeńskie? Here’s their story:

Colorful urban Easter eggs, also known as “Prokopki,” graced the market square in Strzelce Krajeńskie, not just symbolizing cherished traditions but also enchanting with intricate patterns. Unique and one-of-a-kind, these patterns were crafted by the hands of the late local artist, Mr. Jan Prokop, honored through the naming of these splendid eggs.

Now, let’s travel to another town – Skała:

Skała hosted a competition where students formed teams of eight to embellish XXL Easter eggs. The results of their collaborative efforts adorned the market square. Marvel at the magnificence!

Beyond our borders, Easter eggs journeyed all the way to Bad Wimpfen in Germany:

An intriguing project involved the local government ordering white XXL eggs, distributed to various institutions. Early school children had the chance to collectively adorn them, expressing their boundless creativity. The youngest ones even left their handprints on painted Easter eggs. The delightful results await your admiration below.

Finally, we venture beyond the Polish borders to Austria, to the city of Fürstenfeld:

The XXL egg painting initiative achieved resounding success, involving both young and old. Residents, local artists, school students, and art enthusiasts seized the opportunity to express their ideas and preferences through egg decoration. Each egg, a unique masterpiece, reflected the diversity of talents and imaginations within the community.

In this article, we’ve unveiled the positive impact of initiatives centered around the use of Easter eggs by diverse communities. Many towns consistently embrace the tradition of painting XXL eggs, organizing contests and outdoor games, fostering a sense of community and shared experiences. Together with the initiators of these events, we celebrate the joy that individuals bring to these activities, creating a delightful social atmosphere – especially during Easter!

Photos by Ms. Jowita and Ms. Beata exude professionalism and magic! The right-side photo evokes memories of childhood times, with circus associations adding charm to the entire shot. On the other hand, the left-side photo, thanks to the use of a glass sphere, intensifies the magical character of the image. Congratulations to both ladies for their excellent artistic sense!

In the crowd of sparkling Christmas trees that can make your head spin, one of them stands out with exceptional finesse and a unique approach to holiday decorations.

This openwork tree made of globes and lights becomes a true star of the urban landscape. Its dazzling glow illuminates the surroundings, creating an atmosphere of magical holiday time.

Many of you stop to admire its view, fascinated by its unusual charm. Ms. Anna Śleziak shared with us an extraordinary photograph of this piece of holiday art. The left-side photo shows the entire structure, a perfect combination of lights and globes.

Delving deep into these photos, we capture glimpses of the cozy corners of Rybnik, transformed by the creativity and enthusiasm of its administration, into winter wonderlands.

A perfectly decorated Christmas tree, the central figure in the city’s holiday landscape, brings joy to both residents and visitors.

It warms our hearts to see a lively community on social media, especially on Facebook, where residents willingly share their holiday snapshots.

The Christmas magic in Rybnik arises not only from urban decorations but is a living, breathing entity nurtured by the active participation of its residents.

Rybnik’s residents not only captured the magic but also became integral participants in the charm that defines this beautiful time of the year.

Traditional Christmas tree, sparkling garland, a ball of fresh snow – all accompany us during the holidays in Rybnik. One of the favorite symbols is the openwork decorations, adorning private interiors and gardens, gaining popularity in public spaces as well.

We are pleased to present a photograph shared by the Krawat.Visuals profile in one of the Rybnik groups on Facebook. The color palette of this shot is incredibly beautiful. Noticeable is the thoughtful and emotional way in which this photographic work was created.

Openwork ornaments can enchant not only during the day when their original design is perfectly visible. When night falls, they become a true evening star – just choose the right Christmas lights for the city. Thanks to this simple trick, the Christmas decoration will shine brightly at any time of day, competing with popular holiday illuminations.

We want to express our deep appreciation to Mr. Artur for generously sharing his mesmerizing photograph. Apart from beautifully capturing the festive decorations, it also showcases a Ferris wheel glowing against the night sky, infusing the image with a magical allure reminiscent of a fairy-tale scene.

Why Choose Openwork Decorations?

As winter blankets the world in a serene layer of snow and the enchantment of the holiday season warms our hearts, a unique opportunity for reflection, renewal, and profound change emerges. In the spirit of this festive period, we present more than mere decorations – we introduce agents of transformation: XXL Christmas baubles adorned with powerful preventive slogans.

A Winter’s Tale: The Magic of XXL Christmas Baubles

Picture this: a winter landscape painted in shades of white, the early onset of darkness accentuating the glow of Christmas lights that twinkle like stars in the night sky. In this magical setting, amid laughter and joy, lies a subtle yet profound chance for personal and collective transformation.

We all harbor aspirations to enhance our lives. While some possess the inner strength to embark on this journey independently, others may seek an external spark or assistance to find their own path to positive change. In this holiday season, we aim to be that spark for society – a beacon of encouragement, motivation, and positive change.

From Tradition to Transformation: XXL Baubles Illuminate Minds

Recall a moment from a moving initiative two years ago in the charming town of Jasło. Christmas baubles transcended their traditional role as decorations, becoming carriers of preventive slogans in local schools. The beauty of this campaign lies not only in the holiday adornment but in the profound impact of the conveyed messages.

In collaboration with the preventive campaign ‘Keep a Sober Mind’ in Jasło, eight primary schools became beneficiaries of these special XXL Christmas baubles, each carrying a theme proposed by insightful students. The selected slogans resonated with positivity, autonomy, and a sense of collective responsibility, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and shared purpose.

These are not just slogans; they are a manifesto of youthful strength and a decision to live a life full of inspiration. The students’ messages echo with positivity, encouraging a life free from addictions and embracing choices that lead to a brighter future.

While it’s disheartening that so many individuals, both human and animal, are in need, the silver lining is the abundance of hearts ready to extend a helping hand and sow a spark of hope. Together, we can make this year exceptional for those who need support and hope.

Is there anything more magical than Christmas? It’s that time of year when the interiors of our homes become an oasis of warmth and love, streets shimmer with thousands of lights, and we all feel like children, eagerly awaiting Santa Claus. One of the undeniable symbols of these special days is the colorful baubles that adorn Christmas trees and bring that unique aura of holiday magic to our homes.

Each of us surely has our own memories associated with baubles. They can be small spheres, just 2 centimeters in diameter, gently flickering on the branches of the tree, or enormous, dazzling decorations that we see in shopping malls, car showrooms, and even on busy city roundabouts. Baubles can be made of glass, plastic, and sometimes even unusual materials like wood or wicker. They are a symbol of tradition, love for the holidays, and fine craftsmanship.

Get ready for a revolution in the world of Christmas ornaments, because we present to you LED baubles that are changing the game – they illuminate cities and buildings in an incredible way.

When the colorful autumn palette unveils its charm in Zielona Góra, Poland, something truly magical happens. European cities are known for their ageless beauty, and Zielona Góra is no exception. Its historical streets and charming townhouses conceal treasures and stories from centuries past. Cozy cafes and parks invite visitors into a world full of romance and nostalgia.

However, it is in autumn that Zielona Góra truly comes to life. When the leaves fall, and the world takes on a golden hue, the cityscape transforms into a breathtaking paradise. Morning mists add a mysterious atmosphere, and the city feels inspired to emphasize the beauty of this season even more.

It is during these moments that those responsible for the city’s appearance turn to us, and we eagerly respond by adorning their city with charming autumn decorations. We have numerous creative ideas for capturing the essence of this season, and in our company, you will discover various options, each designed to enhance the magic of autumn in your city.

Staying true to rich autumn traditions, our arrangements include deep purple or burgundy heathers, decorative cabbages, and vibrant chrysanthemums. These flowers, known for their resilience and symbolism, add depth to the cityscape.

Zielona Góra: Where Autumn Reigns

One of the cities that has especially embraced the spirit of autumn is Zielona Góra. Known for its scenic landscapes and historical charm, Zielona Góra recognized the importance of celebrating this season in all its glory. It decided to create an autumnal paradise, and Terra Group had the privilege of being chosen for this task. Thanks to the amount of flowers, Zielona Góra has transformed into an autumn garden that delights the hearts and senses of its residents.

Chrysanthemums: Symbols of Remembrance

Chrysanthemums hold a special place in our hearts because they weave rich, nostalgic tales. In Poland, they symbolize All Saints’ Day, when families remember and honor their deceased loved ones by decorating graves with these colorful flowers. Their connection to this tradition makes them an excellent choice for our autumn decorations.

The Rustic Charm of Nature

Zielona Góra, in collaboration with Terra Group, has taken the spirit of autumn to a new level. In addition to live flowers, it introduced dry grasses to its urban garden. These grasses gently sway in the cool autumn breeze, adding a natural and rustic charm to the cityscape, enriching the appeal of this season in the city.

Time for Reflection and Connection

Autumn is a time for embracing change, celebrating the beauty of nature’s transformations, and showing respect for traditions that have endured for centuries. Zielona Góra, in all its magnificent splendor, captured the essence of this season. Thanks to our passion for creating unforgettable and meaningful decorations, Terra Group had the privilege of participating in this endeavor.

We are here to make your autumn experience truly exceptional. Contact us and let Terra Group turn your vision of autumn enchantment into reality. Whether you are considering a decorative project or have specific ideas in mind, we are ready to hear from you. Your adventure into the magical world of autumn in Zielona Góra begins now. Contact us today, and together, let’s create the magic of autumn!

As we witness the vibrant colors of autumn unfolding in Zielona Góra and cities around the world, we are reminded of the eternal beauty this season brings. Autumn is a time for reflection, connection, and profound gratitude for the ever-changing work of nature. As colorful leaves paint the city in their golden tones, we invite you to discover Zielona Góra and immerse yourself in the magic of autumn.

In the world of interior and exterior design, versatility is key. People seek creative ways to make the most of their resources, minimize waste, and embrace eco-friendly practices. In my family, we’ve found a unique approach to all these concerns: we use old newspapers as wrapping paper for holidays, paired with natural twine. This not only lends packages a beautiful, rustic charm but also lets us give a second life to something that might otherwise end up in a landfill. While classic black-and-white newspapers with that nostalgic ink smell are the favorites, even colorful magazines can be upcycled with a simple addition of colored ribbons and bows.

But what does this have to do with a large planter, you may wonder? Well, it’s all about finding year-round uses for everyday items. A large planter, such as the GIANTO, can be a fantastic addition to your home or outdoor space. Many people primarily associate planters with blooming flowers, but the possibilities go far beyond that.

Transforming Your Planter with the Seasons

Every season has its unique characteristics and charms, and there are endless ways to adapt your planter’s decor to match the time of year. Let’s explore some of our favorite ideas:

Spring (Wiosna) :

• Embrace fresh flowers and delicate pastel colors.
• Use the planter as a centerpiece adorned with tulips, daffodils, or magnolias.
• Enhance it with light pastel ribbons and bows for that springtime allure.

Summer (Lato) :

• Bring the summer vibe with colorful parasols and straws.
• Hang decorative seashells, beads, or pom-poms for a playful summer look.

Fall (Jesień) :

• Fill the planter with autumn leaves, pumpkins, or acorns.
• Complement with warm, earthy colors like orange, brown, and red in your ribbons and bows.

Winter (Zima) :

• Create a winter wonderland with evergreen branches, artificial snow, or miniature Christmas ornaments.
• Decorate with white or silver ribbons and bows for a touch of frosty elegance.

Beyond Seasonal Adaptation:

Beyond seasonal adaptation, a large planter like the GIANTO offers endless creative possibilities. You can use it for more than just flowers; it’s a canvas waiting for your artistic touch. Think outside the box:

• Trees: Plant small trees, turning your space into a mini urban forest.
• Christmas Trees: Don’t forget Christmas trees; they look stunning in colorful planters.
• Artistic Compositions: Explore artistic compositions like overflowing planters with pumpkins or chrysanthemums.

But your planter doesn’t have to stand upright all the time; it can also lie down. Some cities use this approach to create unique arrangements with changing flora and decorations every season.

Adding a Creative Spin

Cities and towns worldwide are adopting long-term solutions for their decorations. Think of these products as jewelry for your city, pieces that can adorn your urban landscape year after year, whether it’s an evening gala or a casual day out.

Celebrating Each Season:

For warm seasons, you can opt for floral decorations and leafy trees in your large planters. The vibrant colors will infuse energy, and the foliage creates a pleasant atmosphere. Studies have shown that greenery has a calming effect and positively impacts our well-being.

Ideas for Each Season:

• Spring and Summer: Go for vibrant floral arrangements and leafy trees.
• Autumn: Choose a blend of trees, ivy, grasses, and heathers, and slowly introduce chrysanthemums.
• Winter: Let your large planters take center stage with small trees, and during the holiday season, decorate them with festive ornaments.

Embracing the Winter Chill

It’s a common belief that during winter, we need to dig up our plants and store our decorations. But with durable planters like the GIANTO, you can still enjoy vibrant colors during the winter months. However, they don’t need to remain empty. Many cities have employed planters to create winter wonderlands, with Christmas trees at the heart of the decor. In some cases, they’ve even replaced ornaments with red hearts for Valentine’s Day, adding a delightful twist to the holiday season.

Continual Inspiration

We’re thrilled that a single product can serve multiple purposes. The configurations from various cities worldwide inspire us to continue evolving and thinking outside the box. Lying planters are a creative, unconventional idea that allows almost anything to become part of your arrangement, even scattered gift packages. We can’t wait to see the fresh ideas this year will bring.

Our journey began with the art of reusing old newspapers as eco-friendly wrapping paper, a simple yet charming way to add a personal touch to holiday gifting. This approach not only saves resources but also transforms something destined for the trash into a work of art. Just like that, we found a parallel with how we can approach large planters – turning them into year-round showcases of creativity.

As we explored each season, we uncovered a wealth of ideas to transform our planters. From the fresh, pastel beauty of spring to the vibrant exuberance of summer, the warm and cozy embrace of autumn, and the frosty elegance of winter, your large planter can be a reflection of the changing world outside. But this is just the beginning.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting unique expressions with your planter. Embrace small trees, mini urban forests, or Christmas trees, and explore artistic compositions that overflow with life. These planters can be a part of your creative canvas year-round, telling a unique story for each season.

Additionally, planters can lay the foundation for urban landscapes, offering cities and towns a sustainable, long-term solution for outdoor decorations. Whether it’s a bustling evening gala or a peaceful day out, these planters become the city’s jewelry, able to adapt and shine year after year.

With nature-inspired hues, your planter can celebrate each season’s unique charm. Studies have shown that the presence of greenery has a calming effect and positively impacts well-being. These long-lasting planters can serve as the ultimate canvas for expressing the changing moods and colors of the seasons.

And when the winter chill sets in, don’t think of your planter as needing to hibernate. With their durability and adaptability, these planters can keep your surroundings vibrant even during the cold months. Christmas trees, hearts for Valentine’s Day – the possibilities are as varied as the seasons themselves.

In a world that’s constantly evolving, these planters serve as a timeless medium for creativity. As we draw inspiration from cities worldwide, we look forward to continually evolving and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The story of lying planters, creative and unconventional, opens up endless opportunities for art and expression, even the most unexpected ones.

So, as you consider your planter transformations, we invite you to embrace the ever-changing seasons, to celebrate the flow of life, and to let your creativity bloom year-round. What’s your favorite season for planter transformations?

“In nature, we find the beauty that inspires the soul.”

It’s long been known that during our work day we look for a few minutes just for ourselves to regenerate, collect our thoughts and breathe. Some of us go to drink coffee, other go outside. People go outside, and where do they go? It turns out that the vast majority are looking for a quiet place close to nature. Our brain rests best around trees, grass and flowers. Saturated colors fill us with energy and willingness to act. The rustle of leaves soothes our nerves and calms our thoughts. Of course, we don’t always have available space with trees and meadows, but even in the urban jungle you can relax close to nature.

Today, we would like to present to you some of our projects, along with photos from the cities where our implementation took place.

For us, the most important thing was the combination of steppingstone, numerous colors, interesting design and nature. The combination of these features and needs resulted in projects that had never been dreamed of before. We are happy to see our products that have traveled to the other end of the world. Unfortunately, we will not be able to share everything. So we selected photos for you that show the diversity which we want to share.

The first city we want to present you is the Austrian city of Attnang-Puchheim, which has chosen GIANTO SITO flower pots – many of us also use them as benches. Who wouldn’t want to go out for a break and sit on a giant flowerpot? Or at least put a cup of coffee on it and look at the clouds… We like that!

Another Austrian city, Söll, chose colors, because when the world is becoming grayer and the day at work becomes monotonous, colors will give us dynamism and enthusiasm for further action! Of course, our offer includes neutral versions, but we admit it ourselves – the more color, the more life!

The Austrians used flower pots from the GIANTO series. They have also used WAVE benches, thanks to which they can already enjoy a break in an undeveloped place. Our modular WAVE benches can be freely combined so everyone can create a unique space. Don’t like such saturated colors? No problem. There is a whole catalog of shades!

In the Czech city of Zvolen, very elegant (in our opinion) compositions appeared. The concrete-gray of the PLANE RING LUX flower pots and the crimson red of the flowers created a unique, stylish, and luxurious effect. Comfort and chic – this is what Czechs focus on!

Finally, we will introduce you to two more German cities – Stadt Gütersloh and Dreieich. A lot has happened here this year. The Germans focused not only on pastels and modern patterns, but also bright colors, which we have already seen above. But it is not everything! In addition to the explosion of color and design, natural classicism also appears in theese cities. GIANTO flower pots and ZEBRA benches from the TERRA CITY series appeared in Stadt Gütersloh. Beautiful choices please the eyes.

In Dreieich, there are URBANA, ZEBRA and WAVE benches. Some are very reminiscent of the old style, which we all miss sometimes. Modern seating, made of modern material, visually resembling wood – this is our solution. It’s nice to see such a variety of choices!

Where would you sit for your break?

In cities around the world, the issue of residents` safety has become one of the key urban challenges. With the rapid growth of the population living in urban areas, ensuring a safe and friendly environment has become a priority for local authorities and urban planners. One of the innovative and increasingly popular approaches to improving urban safety is the use of modern solutions in the form of designer urban furniture. 

In this article, we will focus on the role of urban furniture in improving the safety of residents. We will learn about the variety of available solutions and their impact on urban space and social life. Also, we will look at examples of cities that have brought innovative urban furniture and noticed positive effects in improving public safety.

The role of urban furniture in improving public safety

Street furniture is a significant urban element, and its functionality, aesthetics and strategic placement can affect the quality of residents` life and the safety of public spaces. First of all, urban furniture, such as properly placed benches, bicycle racks or pergolas, create attractive, functional and friendly places for meetings, rest and recreation for residents. Open and friendly public spaces that provide the opportunity to spend time outdoors encourage greater social activity and participation in the life of the city. The more people use such spaces, the greater the social control, which reduces the possibility of criminal incidents. 

Secondly, properly designed urban furniture can act as barriers and obstacles that make it more difficult for potential criminals to engage in undesirable activities, such as vandalism, theft or destruction of property. In addition, properly placed streetlights and lighting around street furniture improve the illumination of public spaces, which in turn deters potential offenders.

Thirdly, urban furniture plays a key role in shaping the identity of a local community. Their unique design and thoughtful location can attract tourists and residents, making public spaces more open and welcoming, which affects the sense of community and social ties. Strengthening the bonds to a place results in increased involvement of residents when it comes to caring for the safety of their surroundings. 

In conclusion, urban furniture brings many benefits to public safety. It provides meeting and recreation areas that foster a greater presence of residents in public spaces, leading to more significant social control and reduced risk of crime. Its proper design as barriers and lighting elements also has the effect of reducing potential threats. At the same time, street furniture has the power to shape a city’s identity and encourage the community to actively participate in its life. Therefore, developing and investing in innovative and functional urban furniture is a key component of an effective strategy to improve safety and quality of life in the city.

Innovative street furniture – modern solutions for cities 

Innovative street furniture is now a key part of urban development, integrating modern technology with functionality and aesthetics. Terra Group, a leader in the field of city furniture design and manufacturing, stands out for its innovative approach, offering unique solutions that perfectly fit the requirements of today’s urban communities.

Functionality versus aesthetics – key factors in urban furniture design

Functionality and aesthetics are two key factors that inevitably interact in the process of designing urban furniture. The right combination of these elements is not only important for meeting the practical needs of users, but also has a huge impact on the perception of public spaces by residents and tourists.

Above all, the functionality of urban furniture plays a key role in ensuring convenience and usability. Street furniture should fulfill specific tasks, such as enabling seating, relaxation, storage or waste segregation. The choice of appropriate materials and design must take into account resistance to weather conditions, intensive use and ease of maintenance. In addition, city furniture can also be equipped with additional features, such as USB chargers, Wi-Fi internet access points or photovoltaic panels, which increases its usability.

On the other hand, the aesthetics of urban furniture play an important role in creating friendly and attractive public spaces. Innovative and aesthetic design can encourage residents to use the furniture and influence the positive perception of urban space. Aesthetic street furniture adds charm and character to an area, and its carefully selected design can complement a city’s architecture, emphasizing its identity and style.

It is also important that the functionality and aesthetics of street furniture meet the needs and preferences of the local community. Including residents in the design process and consulting with them can lead to the development of furniture that really fulfil expectations of users, harmoniously blending in with the surrounding landscape. An important aspect is also the durability and quality of street furniture. Strong and solid furniture is more resistant to weather conditions and intensive use, resulting in longer life and lower maintenance costs.

In recent months, the inhabitants of our beautiful city have had the opportunity to admire the remarkable transformation that has taken place right in the city centre. The promenade, which is often filled with tourists and residents, has gained a new beauty thanks to the charming flowering. Flowers and plants have enlivened the urban space of Zielona Góra, creating picturesque landscapes and encouraging people to spend time outdoors.

Summer burst of colour in the city centre

A flowered city centre is not only an aesthetic experience for passers-by, but also a great benefit for the environment. Plants help to improve air quality, absorb pollutants and emit oxygen, which benefits the health as well as the general well-being of residents. In addition, greenery has a calming effect on everyone, which is especially important for dynamic, modern cities.

Read our article and take a look at the latest photos of summer flowering in Zielona Góra! See how the city has changed in recent months.

Stylish pots and the Flower Towers: the summer version of Zielona Góra

Pots from the URBANA collection from Terra Group were placed in the most recognizable places in Zielona Góra. Their size allowed for quite large plantings, so that real trees appeared in the very center of the city. These types of pots can serve as tools for dividing urban space into different zones. They can define the edges of promenades, squares or recreational areas, setting clear boundaries. In this way, URBANA pots helped to organize space and maintain order, while ensuring the comfort and safety of all pedestrians.

On the other hand, the Flower Towers placed on the promenade highlighted the identity of the city, which is famous for its greenery and surrounding nature. The Flower Towers have been beautifully flowered to delight passers-by and add many different colors to the urban landscape. Both the hanging and standing Flower Towers have been used to decorate Zielona Gora, so the image of the center has been greatly diversified. Zielona Góra is therefore an excellent example of how to wonderfully flower a city and introduce plants where this is usually not possible.

Plants as a key element of public space

Plants play an extremely important role in public spaces. Their presence in the city center brings many benefits and transforms the urban environment into a welcoming environment. Flowers or trees add natural beauty to the area, creating green oases in the concrete jungle. They are not only an aesthetically pleasing element of the space, but also they improve air quality, noise absorption and provide shelter from the heat for residents.
The inhabitants of Zielona Góra are fortunate that their city is one of the greenest cities in Poland. This aspect directly affects the quality of life here and, and at the same time, influences the city’s attractiveness for foreign tourists.

So, who of you is planning a trip to Zielona Góra? See you there!

In a city full of gray concrete buildings and monotonous streets, sometimes all it takes is one flickering glance upward to discover the fascinating world of colorful umbrellas. When rainy clouds flood the streets and the sun hides behind a curtain, these delicate covers become not only a practical protection against changeable weather conditions, but also a magical touch that brings the city to life. Colorful umbrellas, like a rainbow on a gray background, add charm and joy to the urban space, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Why is it worth changing your city with this new trend? Check out our article below and get inspired! 

Colorful umbrellas as must-have in the city

All bustling streets in the city have their own unique atmosphere, but sometimes they lack color and vitality. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective way to enliven urban space – just hang colorful umbrellas in such places. These charming rain covers, hanging in the open air over the streets, transform the gray urban landscape into real painting canvas.

Colorful umbrellas in various shades and patterns, dancing in the wind, attract the eyes of passers-by and brighten up the surroundings. They create a magical scenery that tempts you to stop, take a picture, and take your loved ones for a walk.

In addition, colourful umbrellas not only enliven an urban space, but also enhance its character. Depending on your choice of colours and designs, you can create themed decorations that reflect the local culture, the given holiday, or add character to a particular neighbourhood. For example, in an art area umbrellas covered with painting motifs can be hung, while a shopping district could be dominated by umbrellas in intense colours to attract the attention of passers-by.

Colorful umbrellas as street decorations not only give the cityscape a unique charm, but also create space where people can stop, relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the city. They are small but expressive details that make public spaces more welcoming, inspiring and creative. Thus, colorful umbrellas are not only practical protection from rain or sun, but also a wonderful decoration that adds magic and vitality to our streets.

Colorful umbrellas enliven gray urban space

The suspension of colorful umbrellas in the city can become a major attraction for tourists. The umbrellas will create a unique and picturesque atmosphere that will draw people`s attention and make the city more interesting for potential visitors.

Tourists often look for unique places that offer not only historical monuments or traditional attractions, but also special visual experiences. Colorful umbrellas will create a unique scenery and will certainly attract the attention of travelers, encouraging them to slowly explore the city. 

What’s more, a street decorated with colorful umbrellas can become a popular place to take photos. Thus, the city can get more publicity on social-media and become one of the most alluring places for various photo shoots!

Creative experiments and installations in the city

Bringing creative experiments and installations into the city has many benefits. Such activities will contribute to enlivening the gray and monotonous urban space. They will add color, vitality and character, while creating an attractive and inspiring environment for residents. Art installations can also become a symbol and expression of a city’s identity. In this way, it becomes recognizable and unique. Attracting tourists or activating the local community will be a great result of introducing art to city streets.

Colorful decorations have magical power to transform the given space — they enliven it and add character to it. Whether in our homes and gardens or in urban spaces, the presence of colorful decorations attracts attention and gives joy to both residents and passers-by.

Regardless of whether we are lovers of art, gardening or just want to change the surroundings, colorful decorations are an irreplaceable element that inspires everyone around!

Colorful hanging decorations

Colorful hanging decorations are striking decorative elements that can be set in various places. Depending on the expected effects, we can hang them above historic city streets, in a garden or park, or by a charming gazebo. Decorations of this type will not only add marvelous colors to the area, but also attract the eye of every guest. These elements can take various forms and colors — from popular, openwork umbrellas, through animals, to magnificent flowers.

Placing colorful decorations in the space is a great idea to prepare for the holiday season. After all, in the summer, we spend the most time in the open air. Openwork decorations are perfect for outdoors as they are made of durable material, and their forms emphasize the carefree atmosphere of holidays.

In gardens and outdoor spaces, colorful hanging decorations create beautiful landmarks, attracting the eye and inviting to explore the area. They can be hung on tree branches, pergolas, gazebos or garden nets, giving the space a unique aesthetic. Hanging decorations can have a variety of themes, from plant and animal motifs to abstract patterns, which allows you to match them to individual preferences and the style of the surroundings.

Colorful hanging decorations also have a practical application. They can be used as wind chimes that gently chime in the wind, creating a relaxing sound. In addition, they can also deter unwanted birds or insects, protecting plants from damage.

When we use colorful hanging decorations, we have unlimited possibilities of expression and personalization. We can choose from a wide range of colors, materials, and styles to create a striking arrangement that expresses our creativity and taste. Regardless of whether we want to add a splash of color to our home, garden or urban space, colorful hanging decorations are a great choice that will enliven our surroundings and attract attention.

Colorful umbrellas in the city

Colorful umbrellas in cities are becoming an increasingly popular and unique decorative element, adding charm and joy to urban spaces. Many cities around the world are introducing artistic initiatives that consist of hanging umbrellas in urban space. These brightly colored and diverse elements create picturesque scenes, attracting the attention of passers-by and creating a unique atmosphere. From narrow streets and promenades to busy squares, umbrellas in cities add character, creativity and positive mood, making the place even more attractive to residents and tourists.

Colorful umbrellas bring positivity and joy to urban spaces. Their presence enlivens the surroundings, making the place more friendly and pleasant for residents and tourists. They also create an impression of lightness and fun, making people feel more relaxed and satisfied with their stay in a given place. Colorful umbrellas can also serve as visual landmarks in urban space. They can help you navigate by pointing to meeting places, points of sale or important places in the city. In addition, their presence can attract attention and encourage exploration of a given area. Furthermore, initiatives with colorful umbrellas in urban space can foster social bonding. People often stop to take photos, admire the decoration, or chat with other passers-by. This gives them the opportunity to interact and exchange positive experiences, which helps to build community and a sense of belonging.

What’s more, colorful umbrellas can contribute to the increase in tourist traffic in a given city. Their presence creates attractive places to visit and photograph, encouraging tourists to spend more time in a given location. This, in turn, can affect economic development by increasing the number of visitors, both local and foreign, which translates into greater traffic in the surrounding shops, restaurants, and cafés.

Placing colorful umbrellas in urban space is therefore not only a beautiful decoration, but also an initiative that contributes to improving the aesthetics, atmosphere, and community in the city, attracting attention and encouraging interaction.

Colorful decorations for the summer — advantages

Urban space can gain a lot thanks to colorful decorations. Mural on the wall of the building, colorful lanterns or fountains are just some of the examples of how you can change the gray city landscapes. Colorful decorations attract the attention of passers-by, adding character to the city and creating a unique atmosphere. In addition, such artistic initiatives can have a positive impact on the community by encouraging interaction and bonding between residents.

So what are the main advantages of placing colorful, openwork decorations in the summer in urban space?

1. Openwork decorations are open and air permeable, which is especially beneficial on hot summer days. They allow wind to flow freely, which provides natural ventilation, bringing relief to residents and visitors.
2. Summer openwork decorations add delicate charm and elegance to the urban landscape. Their subtle patterns and cutouts create beautiful light and shadow effects, which contributes to a unique atmosphere.
3. Openwork patterns create natural shades that can protect passersby, cafés, or rest areas from direct sunlight. Thus, they provide pleasant and cool resting places on hot days.
4. Openwork decorations are made of durable materials – fiberglass. They are weather-resistant and easy to maintain, which means they can please the eye for many years, requiring only minor maintenance.

We encourage you to decorate your space with openwork summer decorations, which will add charm and elegance to every beautiful city!

Decorating cities for spring is one of the most awaited moments by residents. It is then that the squares begin to cover themselves with colors, and the air smells of spring flowers. On the occasion of Easter, many cities decided to flower their space, which is why we decided to review the most interesting projects to inspire others to similar activities!

Wernigerode, Germany

The town authorities of Wernigerode opted for classic decorations in the form of openwork eggs. Their white surface wonderfully brightened the urban space on rainy April days. Spring flowers were planted in the white eggs, and thanks to the combination of different species, the town could enjoy a very natural flowering effect.

St. Veit, Austria

Austrian town of St. Veit added a lot of charm to the main pedestrian street with Easter decorations. Colorful openwork eggs perfectly matched the colors of the buildings. Flower arrangements, in turn, provided a breath of fresh air and attracted the attention of the residents. The example of St. Veit can be a great inspiration for other small towns — it turns out that with the help of well-thought-out, but small decorations, you can also beautify urban space.

Cieszyn, Poland

In Cieszyn, we were amazed by the creativity of the inhabitants. They decided to approach decorating the space in an original way — in addition to flowers in the square, they covered openwork eggs with colorful ribbons, referring to the tradition of painting Easter eggs. The ribbons perfectly matched the surface of the white openwork, and at the same time added many warm colors to the urban space. Congratulations on your ingenuity! Who knows, maybe other towns will get inspired by this project in the future…

Glogow, Poland

Glogovia Shopping Mall also decided to bring an Easter element into its building. In the central place, the administrators put a small pen with a fiberglass Easter bunny, next to which openwork eggs were installed. The natural flowering of the eggs helped warm up the image of the gallery and introduce a bit of real greenery. It’s also a marvelous idea for an insta spot for customers!

Smigiel, Poland

The town of Śmigiel has been surprising us with beautiful projects for years. This year, they focused on natural, minimalist openwork decorations combined with live flowers. Colorful pansies in the cascade brought a spring atmosphere to the urban space. We really like solutions that are simple and very effective at the same time.

Żory, Poland

In April Żory swarmed with Easter eggs! XXL Easter eggs appeared in various squares — both fiberglass and openwork ones. Thanks to this, the whole city was dressed in spring colors, and the inhabitants could admire the decorations throughout the entire period around Easter. Rows of fiberglass Easter eggs along the main streets caught the eyes of not only residents, but also visitors. A great idea to build positive associations with the municipality!

Prerov, Czech Republic

The Czech town of Přerov showed how to color the center of a concreted city. The easiest solution is to put a few colorful decorations in the center! Multicolored openwork eggs were planted with natural flowers, which also added a breath of spring freshness. We are glad that towns and cities are increasingly interested in bringing greenery even into places that are not parks or clearings!

Trzebiatow, Poland

The approach to decorating the town of Trzebiatów in the spring was very professional!  The authorities organized a joint action of painting XXL Easter eggs, and then arranged an outdoor exhibition of them. Rows of hand-painted eggs perfectly decorated the streets of Trzebiatów, and delighted the residents. The Flower Towers with spring plantings appeared next to the eggs, which beautifully warmed the city center. Congratulations on this beautiful, large project!

Casa Timis, Romania

Hand-covered eggs from Poland from Terra Group have even reached Romania this year! The luxurious resort Casa Timis decorated its space with them in a minimalist and very tasteful way. This is how they conveyed their wishes to their partners, customers, and guests. Bringing such personalized Easter decorations into the hotel space is a great idea to establish a closer relationship with guests!

We encourage you to check out our other entries about urban projects, and if any of you, dear Readers, have a suggestion for more interesting posts, let us know in the comments below!

Although Easter time has just passed, in some places we can still admire amazing Easter decorations. It turns out that more and more local communities are becoming very creative when it comes to decorating their urban spaces. This season, the Kozienice Municipality also took on such a challenge, and we have to admit that the result is simply stunning!

XXL fiberglass eggs as a canvas for local artists

As we mentioned in the previous article, residents have many possibilities when it comes to painting XXL Easter eggs. In some towns the eggs were decorated by kindergarten children, in others by local professional artists. It was no different in Kozienice — the local community joined forces and prepared the urban space for the coming Easter.

XXL Easter eggs in the Kozienice Municipality were made by younger and older residents, including local artists.

Decorating Easter eggs was a social act and art materials were donated by the Mayor of Kozienice — Piotr Kozłowski.

We love this creative approach to decorating urban space—it serves all residents, and such actions certainly support establishing closer relations among neighbors. Beautifully painted eggs in the Kozienice Municipality delight everyone, which is why we strongly encourage you to visit the town and maybe even… join the action next year?

Thank you very much for the photos and congratulations to all the artists!

As the winter months slowly fade into oblivion, we begin to look for the first signs of spring. We track the first spring flowers, buds on trees and singing birds — cities finally take on more colors! So it’s the perfect time to prepare for the arrival of Easter and decorate the city with beautiful Easter elements. This year, new decorations made of dibond appeared on the market, the material that stands out from others with its durability. What are its main features? Check below!

Dibond — what is it?

Dibond is a modern composite material that consists of several aluminum layers. These layers are connected by a polyethylene core, which makes dibond durable and lightweight. Therefore, it can be used in the production of various products. Another advantage of this material is its durability, which is why it can be used outdoors. Resistant to weather conditions, dibond has already been appreciated by architects, engineers and decorators, who take advantage of it to create various arrangements in public spaces. All these assets make dibond a great alternative to PVC boards. What’s more, the polyethylene used for the production of dibond comes from recycling, which is certainly a great advantage nowadays.

Decorations made of dibond are also light and easy to transport. They can be covered with different colors, and their surface can also have a different structure. Thanks to this, dibond has a wide range of applications and can be modified to meet the needs of each client.

Dibond board — application

Dibond is primarily used for the production of various public architecture elements — these can be e.g., coffers, advertising stands or shop signs. The dibond board works great in these conditions, because it retains its durability for a long time and, if the board is properly covered with color, it will not fade over time. Various companies have decided to change the existing PVC advertising boards to more modern boards, made of dibond. First of all, this is motivated by durability, and thus, a lot of savings, because decorations do not have to be changed every season. Dibond elements will work well for years. What’s more, the dibond board can be cut with various patterns or inscriptions that will perfectly emphasize the character of any place or special occasion.

Easter decorations 2023 made of dibond

Dibond Easter decorations may become a new trend this season. Eggs made of this material will be resistant to any weather conditions and will perfectly color the urban space. They will also work well as advertisements in hotels or restaurants.

In Terra Easter’s offer, you will find various patterns of 2D and 3D eggs — what’s the difference? 2D eggs are flat, so they can be used in different ways. Depending on your preferences, you can decorate a selected wall with them or mount them on a stand. 3D decorations take up a bit more space, so it is worth planning in advance where we are going to place them. Such eggs will attract the attention of passers-by and will color the public space. What’s more, when ordering such an egg, you can choose a personalized printout — this way you can easily get a beautiful decoration that will also become a showcase of your company, hotel, or restaurant. Easter wishes printed on the surface of the egg will pleasantly surprise all customers, and as we know, their satisfaction is the most important thing!

Building a local community that will spend time together and take care of urban space can be a very difficult task. The pandemic circumstances had a huge impact on the increasing distance in relations between neighbors, which are only now beginning to recover. However, more and more cities are starting to propose interesting ideas for activating the local community. Working together can have a positive impact on all residents — it’s a good opportunity to get to know each other better, exchange ideas or just have a nice time.

It turns out that painting Easter eggs together can be a great idea for a local project. Such eggs can be used to decorate the city. In previous years, this idea was already implemented by e.g., Karpacz, Racibórz or Skała. So, how to organize such an action?

Ideas for painting Easter eggs together in your city

Spring brings higher temperatures, which is a great opportunity to finally spend some time outdoors. Organizing a local action of painting Easter eggs with such a pleasant aura will surely delight the residents! After long winter months, you can finally go back to walking and playing in the park. Painting Easter eggs together can be the perfect start to the spring season, which is full of various outdoor activities.

It turns out that there are quite a lot of ideas for preparing XXL Easter eggs. Thanks to the fact that many cities have already carried out such projects, we can take a closer look at them and be inspired by their actions. Importantly, every year more and more cities join this action, thanks to which many markets were decorated with beautiful, hand-painted decorations. Admiring them is a pleasure for both passers-by and people who took part in the project!

Easter eggs as an element of the city game — Karpacz

A great idea was implemented in Karpacz — colorful Easter eggs were used as an element of the town game. At the beginning, white, fiberglass, plain eggs from the Terra Easter collection arrived in the city. Then they were handed over to local artists so that they could decorate them according to their own ideas. The project involved, among others, Teresa Kępowicz, Renata Jaryczewska, Leszek Legut and Beata Makutynowicz. Thanks to so much involvement, about 20 such unique Easter eggs have already been created. In addition to local artists, Easter eggs were also decorated by children; and it’s all thanks to art workshops at “Culture Station”. Ready Easter eggs have been placed in various areas of the town — they have not been accumulated in one place on purpose, so that passers-by can look for them and enjoy the next prey during family walks.

The motto of this action was: “Hey seeker, spend this Easter in Karpacz!”. As a result, the town was eagerly visited by tourists who could try their hand at a family outdoor game. Riddles created by the Mountain Spirit were attached to each of the Easter eggs. Such a thematic walk around the area was an entertaining experience for both residents of Karpacz and tourists from all over the country!

Painting Easter eggs with children — Bad Wimpfen

Another extraordinary undertaking is choosing white XXL eggs by the local government, which will be handed over to various institutions so that school children can decorate them together according to their own ideas. It’s obvious that children are very creative — so it’s worth giving them a chance to express themselves in this way! The German town of Bad Wimpfen followed in these footsteps and donated a white egg to a local kindergarten. The youngest children took part in painting an Easter egg by imprinting their hands on the surface of the egg. You can see the effect below.

Easter eggs painted by local artists — Brzesko, Kórnik

Some towns also came up with the idea of placing Easter eggs on the market square or promenade, where all residents can participate in the creation of Easter art works. Local activity organized in this way will surely be remembered by all participants, and will also give a lot of publicity to the commune. If your town is full of local artists, it is worth using their potential and inviting them to cooperate! Such actions were organized by Brzesko and Kórnik, the effects of which you can see in the photo below. Such unique Easter eggs emphasize the artistic atmosphere of the town, and will also provide works of art that the commune will be able to boast about for many years.

Public space is becoming an increasingly popular topic, so it is no wonder that we care about ergonomic solutions, greater comfort for residents and lush greenery in cities. Thanks to the growing social awareness, more and more design offices aim to improve urban space. It is for such initiatives that Polska Gazeta Wyborcza (one of the most popular polish magazines) organized the competition called Humanly Designed, which aims to select unique ideas. Last week, the final gala was held, and we could meet the winners of this year’s edition.

A more sustainable city

Various organizations applied for the competition: associations, designers, foundations, cooperatives, design teams, architects and entrepreneurs. There was even a special category for teenagers under 18 to reward them for their involvement in social initiatives for cities in Poland. All these groups are united by the desire to make cities more pleasant and accessible space for citizens. Sometimes it means launching multi-functional solutions, and other times it means the solutions that are smarter, greener or safer.

The guiding idea of the competition is, above all, to emphasize human needs. Urban space is supposed to serve residents and make them feel comfortable. Cities should be functional, but also pleasant, to encourage people to spend time outdoors!

As the main values of the jury turned out to be very consistent with the vision of Terra Group, we decided to submit Gianto city pots to participate in the competition.

Gianto flower pot—humanly designed multi-functionality

The idea that guided us when submitting Gianto pots to the competition was to emphasize that one pot can provide many creative possibilities. After all, Gianto is a simple, yet unique planter that perfectly adapts to the needs of urban space and changes the environment for the better. Its main task is to launch greenery where it might seem impossible due to lack of access to the ground, underground installations, specific conditions — narrow streets, garage underneath, constructions with load limitations. We designed the Gianto planter so that it would meet even the most difficult conditions posed by urban space, and at the same time it would delight passers-by.

The shape of the Gianto pot is inspired by a classic pot. As a result of playing with the form, new variants were created, which bring additional functionalities. The flattened SITO can be used as a bench, TABLO and GRANDE are the largest models and such a scale is hard to find anywhere else — you can plant trees in them without worrying about space for their roots.

The most important advantages of the Gianto pot are:

• XXL form, because large spaces need properly selected elements of street furniture,
• the possibility of planting beautiful, lush flowers or even trees,
• high-quality material that allows you to choose a variety of colors,
• production in Poland.

A pot that became a bench

A beautifully planted pot encourages you to stay near it as long as possible. This is how the idea for compatible seats with the Gianto pot came about.  They give you a chance to rest surrounded by greenery and in a few moments, the pot changes into a designer city bench.

Wave Bench

The wave-inspired bench is a seat that winds around the Gianto planters. This modular solution easily adapts to the needs and space, and at the same time looks extraordinary. What if you could combine two, three, five, seven pots with a seat? This is not a problem for the Wave bench, because it consists of several basic elements that fit together like building blocks. As a result, a very functional piece of street furniture is created each time. The original shape of the bench makes it possible for different groups of people to sit on it at the same time, and each of them will have space for themselves.

Zebra Bench

A round bench with a Gianto pot in the center gives you great opportunities to personalize the design. Each seat rung may look different, but the effect is phenomenal every time.

Can a city pot connect people?

We wanted our pots not to be just containers planted with plants. That is why we are extremely pleased that Gianto pots often become part of social initiatives: joint planting of plants, a canvas for local artists or a distinctive element of events. Thanks to this, they help to build awareness of the need for everyday contact with nature, respect and care for the common good, and also show that the cooperation of residents leads to beautiful effects.

One function is definitely not enough!

The Gianto pot is a decoration, a chance for additional greenery, a promotion for the city, a suitable container for trees, a bench, a railing, an element that separates space, a Christmas decoration, part of a social initiative, a canvas for local artists. We are very happy that we could take part in such an important competition for urban space. We hope you like our idea too! More information about the competition and the list of awarded projects can be found here.
