Bespoke project: Levitation and planting

First of all, «Levitating Nature» d’Alexis Tricoire permet d’illustrer nos savoir-faire et la maîtrise de la matière. Il faut dire que cette création représente un défi technique de premier plan. Elle ouvre la porte à des recherches approfondies sur l’entretien des végétaux dans un environnement contraignant. Cette collaboration représente bien plus qu’un aménagement. C’est également un témoignage des savoir-faire et d’une expertise avisée que maîtrise ATECH et Alexis Tricoire. Indeed, this greening project for the Angers train station demonstrates an inspiring vision for the future of urban furniture and public space design.

Over 40 years of expertise

The installations are carried out through precise rolling and meticulous welding. This project demonstrates our ability to consistently push our limits, and we have been doing so for over 40 years. This is how we manage to offer attractive and innovative solutions, both in terms of their design and their functionality.

Finally, it is evident that this achievement will continue to spark reflection and discussion, thus fueling the dialogue on the place of plants in our society.

ASSURER LA VIABILITÉ DE LA VÉGÉTATION ET FAVORISER L’AUTONOMIE :
OPTIMISER LA GESTION DE L’EAU

Furthermore, this greening project for the Angers train station is interesting because, in addition to a rigorous mastery of the materials, precise studies were carried out to ensure the viability of the vegetation in these brushed stainless steel planters. Indeed, the planters were designed:

  • to meet the needs of plants
  • increase the water autonomy of the tanks

Indeed, this highlights the importance of a comprehensive mastery of vegetation and water management. Thanks to innovative projects like this one, Angers is strengthening its image as a dynamic and creative city.

UNE VÉGÉTALISATION MULTIPLE, AU SOL ET EN L’AIR

First, the majority of this arrangement is represented by suspended containers made of brushed stainless steel. Although designed to ensure the healthy development of the plant, they incorporate a light source beneficial to the vegetation's growth. Furthermore, they create a different ambiance in the Angers station in the evening.

Next, on the forecourt of the station, two Sit-stand incorporating greenery are arranged to meet the various needs of travelers waiting outside. It should be noted that, to create a visual link between the suspended installation inside and the outdoor seating at ground level, the perch seats are designed in stainless steel and varnished.

Finally, all the products were meticulously created. Furthermore, the finishes used emphasize the technological, innovative, and futuristic aspect of this project.
