Aura – Concrete Planter Bench System for Municipal Landscape Infrastructure

Integrated Seating & Green Infrastructure for GCC and European Urban Developments

I prodotti Urban Italian Design sono progettati e realizzati in Italia nel rispetto di sistemi di gestione della qualità e dell’ambiente conformi agli standard ISO 9001:2015 e ISO 14001:2015.

Contemporary urban masterplans demand multifunctional elements that combine seating, greenery and structural durability within a single architectural solution.

The Aura is an integrated concrete planter bench system engineered for large-scale public realm, landscape and civic infrastructure projects.

Manufactured in Italy using high-density vibrated reinforced concrete technology, Aura delivers structural mass, environmental resistance and architectural presence suitable for demanding municipal environments.

Designed for municipalities, landscape architects, urban planners and infrastructure developers, this heavy-duty planter-seating unit supports placemaking strategies and long-term landscape performance across GCC and European markets.

Its 650 kg monolithic concrete body ensures stability, vandal resistance and durability in high-traffic and extreme climate conditions.

Supports integrated green infrastructure and structured public seating strategies.

Reinforced Concrete Planter – Infrastructure Performance

The oval planter body (135x60x65h cm) is produced through continuous casting and high-frequency vibration to achieve optimal structural compaction.

White 52.5 grade cement combined with controlled aggregates enhances compressive strength and resistance to cracking under thermal stress typical of GCC regions.

The external stone-effect white finish is protected with water-repellent anti-degradation coating resistant to UV exposure, yellowing and surface erosion.

Integrated handling device facilitates safe lifting and on-site positioning.

Okoumé Wood Seating & Galvanized Steel Support Structure

The seating module consists of shaped Okoumé hardwood slats, treated for outdoor exposure and stained walnut, fixed with stainless steel screws.

The semicircular load-bearing structure is composed of two galvanized steel semi-rings, treated and coated in anthracite grey for corrosion resistance and structural stability.

The material combination balances architectural solidity with ergonomic comfort, suitable for premium public realm environments.
