Furnitubes launches Akri lightweight large wall planters
Furnitubes is launching Akri®, a wall planter enabling large planting beds to be designed as part of a scheme.
Constructed from recycled steel, Akri® planters are a sustainable and cost-effective solution compared with traditional masonry walls or smaller sit-on top planters. Plus, they offer designers more creative options in terms of shapes, curves and finishes.
Catherine Barratt, Managing Director at Furnitubes, says: “As urbanisation and high-density developments put more and more pressure on the environment, we’re on a mission to ‘green the grey’ and get more people outside. We know that plants and greenery bring many benefits to people - it’s good for body and soul. Large planting beds are the perfect solution as they allow people to engage with nature and within even the busiest of cities.”
Akri® wall planters are crafted from both straight and curved panels, typically 2m long and with heights up to 1.1m, which allows for a variety of designs to suit most outdoor areas, including podiums, roof terraces, and general public spaces.
They include optional add-on seating in the form of benches, with or without backrests - constructed of timber slats on a steel frame. These benches can be pre- or retro-fitted.
Akri® wall planters are available in two ranges: AKRI300 and AKRI600, in a range of heights from 300mm to 1100mm. The panels are lightweight for ease of handling and therefore well suited to roof-tops and podiums.
