Agora Planters
After a successful collaboration two years ago on a GSA landscape project in San Francisco, sculptor and designer Cliff Garten and Quick Crete Products have reteamed to create a collection of cast recycled-concrete planters and site furnishings. The planters are offered in six styles'ranging from a quilted to a ridged design'in small to tall (up to 44') and wide (40') sizes in yellow, white, gray, green, brown, or custom colors.
Loop
Part of the 35 Collection'designed by Frog Design for Landscape Forms'the Loop bicycle rack is a cast-aluminum ring composed of 97% recycled content, finished with a proprietary powder coat, and defined by shifting curves that give it sculptural appeal. Each 35' wide unit can accommodate two bikes.
