Street Furniture

Urban furniture and landscaping solutions to promote nature in cities

Street furniture for outdoor landscaping is very extensive: it includes all the equipment installed in public spaces to meet users' needs and improve their daily lives.

At Atech, we have been a French manufacturer of street furniture and greening solutions since 1986. We are committed to helping you create green spaces and more resilient, sustainable cities. We’ve chosen to prioritize quality with sturdy, stylish, eco-designed, and durable products manufactured in France at our workshop in Maine-et-Loire.

In urban environments, where spaces are becoming increasingly built up, incorporating greenery can be a real challenge. Atech offers a variety of practical solutions for greening the city with different product lines made of steel, recyclable plastic, and wood; Urban gardens, pergolas, planters and window boxes, plastic pots, seating and tables, urban furniture (trash cans, bike racks, posts and bollards, barriers, low railings, tree grates).

We also develop urban gardens, which are true oases of freshness comprising several elements, notably incorporating seating and shade to create relaxation areas.

Our pergolas and shade structures play a key role in developing urban nature and biodiversity, while contributing to the creation of cool islands and spaces conducive to sharing and social connection.

City planning also involves essential amenities, designed for all audiences, to promote moments of relaxation and conviviality in public spaces.

The seating satisfies a dual objective: to offer optimal comfort to users and to guarantee durable and resistant equipment. Benches, banquettes, chairs, or sit-stand units are thus designed to combine ergonomics and robustness.

The tables complete these arrangements by combining conviviality and functionality, allowing for the creation of genuine break and meeting spaces. With the evolution of usage, outdoor spaces are taking on an increasingly important role, requiring suitable equipment for resting, gathering, or sharing a moment.

Our urban furniture adapts to space constraints, especially in dense urban environments. To free up roadways, we offer overhead solutions such as balcony planters and hanging planters, ideal for adding greenery without taking up ground space.

Steel planters easily accommodate large plants, even shrubs, in a wide range of shapes and finishes, for modern landscaping adaptable to all projects.

The flower pots, made from recyclable plastic, are distinguished by a wide range of colors, ideal for livening up spaces.

As a specialist in street furniture, Atech offers a comprehensive range of products designed using sustainable, recyclable materials and developed in collaboration with architects and designers to bring about lasting improvements to public spaces.

How to choose the right urban furniture for an outdoor development project?

The choice of street furniture depends on several criteria: the type of space to be fitted out, the foot traffic in the location, climatic constraints, and the desired aesthetic. It is important to prioritize durable materials and equipment that are resistant to vandalism and bad weather. Proper placement of street furniture also helps to optimize circulation, user comfort, and the enhancement of public spaces.

Is urban furniture customizable according to the needs of cities or companies?

What materials are used to manufacture your street furniture?

Street furniture is generally made from robust and durable materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, or certain technical plastics.

Wood provides a natural and warm dimension, while steel or folded sheet metal offer great strength and excellent longevity over time.
