About this product

Forma Planter

Measuring 480 × 410 × 750 mm, it brings contemporary style and durability to streetscapes, plazas, courtyards, and commercial settings. Free-standing and specification-ready, Forma injects vibrant, tailored appeal—complemented by surface-mount or root-fix options—to enhance urban and public realm spaces.

The Forma planter is a specification-grade outdoor element that seamlessly blends robust engineering with warm timber detailing. Constructed from hot-dip galvanised mild steel, its clean, cuboid form is externally sheathed in either softwood as standard or premium hardwood (Iroko, Sapele, Cumaru) for a rich, tactile finish. Sized at 480 × 410 × 750 mm, this free-standing unit is ideal for compact urban installations—perfect for sidewalks, plaza entrances, commercial courtyards, and landscape edges. Available in galvanised, powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or Corten steel underlayer finishes, Forma supports both surface-mount and root-fix installation methods. Optional drainage holes and removable liners ensure practical planting performance.
