Street furniture is usually the last thing specified on a project, and the first thing people notice when it launches. We've spent decades making sure it arrives on time, on spec, and goes in first time.

Recently we brought Hive to RHS Chelsea Flower Show as part of a collaborative garden with BALI, designed by Matt Evans of The Garden Room - Living and Landscape Studio and built by Frosts Landscape Construction Ltd.
The brief asked for a space that could speak to policymakers, landscape professionals, and the public all at once, in a footprint not much bigger than a meeting room.
What we took away: when a space is genuinely well designed, people find it. They slow down. They sit. They stay.
That's the whole point, really.
Full case study below.

The 2026 edition of Furnifest brought the whole team together again. It’s beginning to feel like a proper tradition.
We all made it to Kent for two days. Day one, we covered a lot of ground: strategy, product direction, where we're going next. And then rounded things off with a team dinner and conversations that stretched into the night.
For day two, we swapped presentations for power tools. Under Bob and Dave's guidance, we assembled five Zenith benches. They're all heading to a charity that makes gardens for children's hospices around the country. This part always feels good - these benches will end up somewhere they're genuinely needed, in spaces that matter to people at difficult times.
We headed home a little more connected than we arrived. Already looking forward to the next Furnifest!

King Street in Blackpool is a reminder that regeneration is about what people choose to do once a space is given back to them.
Previously a vehicle-led route, the street has been rethought as somewhere to pause, meet, and spend time. To create this shift, Muse and re-form Landscape Architecture Ltd took a multitude of small decisions, from how water is managed, to where seating sits, to how flexible that seating needs to be across the length of a street.
This is where our RailRoad modular furniture proves its worth as a way of responding to the nuances of place. The result is a street that feels coherent, cared for, and used.
If you’re working on town centre regeneration or public realm projects, there’s more to take from this scheme.

Our newest product Hive made its debut at Chelsea this year, in the BALI show garden.
Our Managing Director Catherine Barratt sat down with the British Association of Landscape Industries team to talk about industry collaboration, where public realm design is heading, and why a hexagon is actually a surprisingly good place to start when creating remarkable public spaces.

A bench that lasts 20+ years in a public space returns more to its community than one replaced several times over.
In Entry 2 of our Sustainability Journal, our Managing Director, Catherine Barratt, looks at what that takes in practice, alongside our carbon baseline work, a new UK-sourced material now installed at The Seam in Barnsley, and the overlap between lean manufacturing and sustainability goals.
