Custom urban furniture to reflect your outdoor space
Manufacturing
The Port of Liège is revitalising and redeveloping the road that links boat berths to the boulevard. The dual carriageway includes a turning lane and two sidewalks for safe pedestrian movement. This project also promotes soft mobility and pedestrian safety while integrating vegetation into the urban space.

A high-traffic area
The Port of Liège is a major traffic hub. It’s both a destination for visiting boaters and the starting point for river cruises. Located on the right bank of the Meuse, the port is easily accessible from the city centre and offers direct access to the river.
With a capacity of up to 150 boats, the site includes docks and modern, fully-equipped pontoons. Facilities include water and electricity supply points, restrooms, and lifting equipment for boats.
This high-traffic site needed a bold riverside urban design to reflect the dynamism and identity of Liège.

Choice of furniture and colours: Reflecting Liège’s visual identity
The riverside development includes:
- Extrabac planters
- PASTEL planters with custom colours
- PASTEL bollards
- PASTEL bike racks
These elements together reflect the city’s colour identity. Variation in size and tone adds rhythm and coherence to the space.
Create an attractive and distinctive visual atmosphere
For this project, a carefully curated selection of PASTEL and Extrabac planters was chosen to create a distinctive visual identity. By combining various planter styles and strategically blending floral compositions, we are able to play with color palettes and craft captivating arrangements that reflect the true essence of the location.
Color choices can be subtle and complementary to evoke a calming atmosphere, or bold and contrasting to energize and enliven the surroundings. Whether through soft, pastel tones for a romantic ambiance or vibrant hues for a festive spirit, our custom-designed planters become a true artistic canvas—transforming outdoor spaces into living works of art.
This innovative approach to urban greening delivers a unique and memorable visual signature, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and the character of the environment.
