Torgau is a small town in eastern Germany famous for its well-preserved Renaissance architecture. As befits a city of great changes (and not only cultural ones!), impressive makeover has taken a place there … From a typical, neat, yet monochromatic to the vibrant with life and colors old town, and all of that in just a few moments!

This quick transformation was possible thanks to the huge pots from the Gianto line. Contrary to appearances, the presence of fabulously colorful, modern containers has not distorted the character of the old town … after all, it is located in one of the most progressive cities in Europe!

Although Torgau is open to new things, it faces many limitations connected with  preservation of the historic centre heritage. One of them is the restricted movement of heavy vehicles, which make bringing traditional decorations difficult.

However, it was enough to put on large flower pots from the TerraForm collection, which are light, and most importantly: mobile. The Gianto Tablo models (pots with table) and Gianto Sito (pots with a seat) have special grooves for a pallet truck – agile, powered by human muscles. Therefore, interference with the historic center does not require damaging the ground or exhaust emissions.

The colorful flower pots have reached the heart of Torgau in a completely non-invasive manner, without harming the surroundings. Thanks to their size, colors and form, they constitute a strong decorative accent that cannot be overlooked. Importantly, the Sito and Tablo pots are also additional benefits for passers-by – an alternative bench or table where you can read a newspaper, book or eat a meal comfortably.

In the German coastal city Greifswald, some unusual urban pots have appeared. Their uniqueness lies in an original form as the edge of a container is extended not without a reason…

One of the biggest attractions of Greifswald is the marina. Yachts, sailboats and motorboats moor along the channel of the Ryck River. However, not only ”boaters” can find something for themselves. This neat and well-kept area is a great idea for a family walk – admiring the views you can easily wander to the Baltic beach.

Still, to be able to fully enjoy the panorama, it is worth stopping for a moment …That is why, urban pots with a seat function appeared at marina. How does it work? The secret lies in the well-thought-out design combining two functions – a bench ( an expanded edge plays this role ), and a container for plants.

The marina in Greifswald can be a role model in arranging problematic public spaces. Although there is a lack of space for new natural plantings, there is plenty of greenery. Trees constituting the axis separating the river channel from the promenade are not the only green accent.

The solution for the area covered with cobblestones turn out to be mobile urban pots – the models enriched with special grooves for a pallet truck, hidden in the base. This is a convenient and quick way not only to bring planted decorations to the area, but also, in the long run – to change their setting according to one`s needs. Arrangement does not require complicated construction works or engaging heavy, devastating ground vehicles – the marina will remain as beautiful as always!
