European cities are very diverse, and at the same time … very similar. The lack of natural accents seems to bother the inhabitants of Warsaw, as well as Berlin or Prague. In recent decades most of the cities have been covered with concrete. A significant part of the city squares revitalization was based on crowding out the greenery and flattening the area, covering it entirely with concrete slabs.

Greenery ( meaning trees or flowers ) was almost completely forgotten. The result: many urban spaces are deprived of nature and functional small architecture to this day. The fact is that the main city squares must be able to accommodate a large number of people, but also it needs to be a place where it is possible to organize various types of cultural events.

The answer to the problems of modern cities are modular urban furniture, which combine several functions, guaranteeing saving valuable place. European cities are increasingly being arranged with benches from the TerraCity collection. The advantage of these solutions lies in their compatibility with large pots. This is the only proven way to bring both, a comfortable seat and a stylish flower pot that can hold some bush or even a tree.

What does matter is functionality and setting of elements. Currently, the most popular trend aims at less cars and replacement of some streets and car parks with social gardens and squares.

Modern bench with a flower pot – for public spaces

Together with such colorful solutions, our cities present themselves in a completely new light, and also as a friendly place to live. Actually, the stripes became an inspiration while creating one of the most colorful benches. In this round model – public space bench Zebra, the color lines create a hoop, which surrounds the pot with a large plant set inside of it. The bench is an attracting element for children, too. Also, more classical models with standard seats ( with or without backrest ) will make bus stops and squares more eye-catching.

It’s fabulously colorful or … toned. It will help to bring nature into the surroundings and become a trendy piece of furniture. This is an alluring decoration and at the same time an indispensable element of infrastructure. Zebra urban bench is a versatile solution for any space.

It made her debut only a year ago and ever since it has enjoyed growing popularity. No wonder! The Zebra round city bench is not only made of colorful elements, but also it has an unusual backrest created by a large urban pot that is able to contain not only decorative plants, but even a large bush and tree. Thanks to such an original form, it is an impressive complement to a square without trees, a cobbled town square or … a playground where children spend their time.

There is no zebra … without stripes! The Zebra urban bench has a way more to offer than just a classic black and white finish. It can be … whatever you want! From classic, toned and uniform gray to a multi-colored rainbow. Thanks to such a wide range of options, it works well both in the traditional space of the Old Market Square ( often protected by the conservator’s supervision ), as well as in a free, colorful playground of a kindergarten or primary school.

Importantly, the Zebra urban bench is fixed to the ground with special anchors – without undue interference in the pavement. This means that it can also reach places with extensive underground infrastructure – above parking lots, pedestrian crossings or the sewage system. Even after fixing in a specific place, it will not have any effect on other components of the “urban tissue”, and it will never disappear from its place – whether due to strong wind or vandalism.
