Bespoke corten steel and timber planter with benches – Mulberry Place, Daventry
IOTA was commissioned to supply large, bespoke corten steel and timber planter / benches for the transformative Mulberry Place leisure project in Daventry.
Solution
All items were fabricated from 3mm-thick corten steel, pre-weathered before shipment, and FSC iroko timber.
Scope of works
A single 14m-long bench in a ‘hockey shape’ arrangement, including 5 linear metres (LM) of backrests, is located in the cinema piazza, along with two additional planter / benches of different arrangements, the largest with a total perimeter of 39 LM, including 22 LM of benching and 8 LM of backrests.
A further planter / bench is located in the adjoining North Street to create a visual signposting link between Mulberry Place and the High Street.
About Mulberry Place
