Drifter Tree Isles are planter isles made from CorTen steel retaining walls with a Drifter seat integrated into the steel structure. The extra-large beams of the Drifter seats are sourced from local waterworks, which affords them a rugged, well-used appearance.

The seats are available in segments up to a length of 3 metres – 118” in single or double beam versions. They can be linked if desired and the double beam seats can be fitted with a Drifter Backrest.

These distinct Drifter Tree Isles stand alone on a concrete surface or flush with the ground. Large trees can be anchored underground by means of a specially developed substructure. The Drifter Tree Isles do not need a separate foundation and the standard depth below ground level is 15 cm.

The TWIN Concept

Innovations in the field of sustainable materials, including biobased substances and composites made from residual waste, provide opportunities to make the Streetlife Collection more sustainable. Based on these innovations, Streetlife’s TWIN concept offers a series of sustainable materials which provide alternatives to the original hardwood options. By adding this new identity to our product families, the TWIN concept offers landscape designers and architects more freedom of choice.

TWIN option for this product

  • Lava Grey

Lava Grey is made entirely from recycled household plastic waste, such as packaging, cups, bags and trays. It consists of around 75% recycled PE and 25% recycled PP. This new anthracite grey substance has a fairly rough texture. In certain places, the surface reveals how the material fl owed into the mould during the casting process, like a lava stream. Pieces of coloured plastic are visible here and there in the grey mass, highlighting the origin of the recycled material. Colour and texture may vary in North America due to local production.
