STREET FURNITURE
HOW DOES STREET FURNITURE POSITIVELY IMPACT OUR TOWNS & CITIES ?
Benches , bollards , bins , planters and pergolas tend to go unnoticed but they ’ re all important to our daily lives .
The right street furniture makes an urban space more inclusive and attractive . Having enough benches , for example , is important for the elderly when deciding where to go – and for anyone else who might need to sit and rest . Bins result in far less litter , which helps with maintenance and makes the environment more friendly to everyone .
When choosing and designing street furniture , our team works closely with Architects and Specifiers to focus on the people who will be using it and on how each item will “ live ” in the space :
• When people walk around it , what will their alternate route be ?
• Will it change the way they socialise ?
• Will it make maintenance easy and not get in the way ?
• Will it maintain or enhance safety and security ?
• Will it look great and feel like a cohesive part of the broader design ?
Choosing the right durable materials , street furniture lasts a long time and is not easily damaged . It usually doesn ’ t require much upkeep , aside from general cleaning and occasionally some paint or other coating , so the value it adds outweighs any cost almost immediately .
Here at Harlestone Projects , we have a long history of designing and manufacturing street furniture for residential and commercial spaces that creates fantastic experiences for people - and makes communities and developers proud .
