Street Furniture News

Every year, the arrival of Autumn reminds us of the importance of lighting in outdoor spaces, particularly when the weather is relatively mild and pleasant enough for many people to want to continue enjoying the great outdoors, despite the dark nights closing in. Having the correct lighting design and specification in an outdoor space will deliver a whole host of benefits which combine to boost its appeal and – potentially – value.

On Friday 19th May the Bailey Street Furniture Group will be walking for Charity. Our chosen charity is Trees for Cities which aims to improve air quality and the lives of people living in cities across the country. Trees for Cities have already planted over 1.5 million trees. Our aim is to raise £1,500 for Trees for Cities which could plant 250 trees! 

key to creating and maintaining attractive outdoor spaces is the provision of facilities for users to dispose of their litter and recycle with ease. Incorporating litter bins within contemporary public realm design, however, need not mean compromising on aesthetic ambitions thanks to the Spencer range from Artform Urban.

Providing shelter and protection from the elements is one of the most powerful ways to give new purpose to outdoor spaces, no matter how large or small. From the simplest of canopies fitted over an entrance door to protect building users from the weather to extensive walkways for pedestrians transferring between buildings, the scope for canopies is vast with the range of options available.

Initially known and the Bailey Artform, Artform Urban Furniture was created to work in conjunction with its global partners, Landscape Forms, Metalco, out-sider and Jangir Maddadi Design Bureau, to offer design-led street furniture to architects and specifiers in a seemingly standard market.
