Overview

Stand-out Coral Red shrub and tree planters were designed, manufactured and supplied by IOTA to The Grosvenor Estate, bringing life and colour to North Audley Street, in the heart of Mayfair, London W1. The planters are laid out in clusters and rows the length of the street, and showcase exuberant, drought-tolerant planting by Alexandra Noble Design.

North Audley Street is part of Grosvenor’s oldest and best-known asset – its London estate, covering 300 acres of Mayfair and Belgravia, two of London’s most prestigious districts.

Products supplied

A total of 44 shrub planters and 25 tree planters were commissioned, respectively in 2.0mm and 3.0mm 1.4003-grade stainless steel, which offers significant benefits for use in public realm.

The planters were finished using a 3-coat polyester powder coat (PPC) system which is certified for C3 / C4 environments; and, to further enhance durability, the top coat used was from the STRUCTURA range by Akzo Nobel / Interpon. The bold and impactful top coat colour specified was RAL 3016 [Coral Red]. ‘Mayfair London’ branding was retrospectively applied to some larger planters.

Services provided

IOTA was commissioned by Murphy Carey JV on behalf of The Grosvenor Estate, on the basis of design, manufacture and supply. All design detailing and development was by IOTA, working from a design brief and concept drawings by BDP.
