This design allows for flexible greening even on sealed surfaces. The trees are complemented by chairs, benches, and loungers from our Vivax series. The platforms and street furniture were designed by Daniel Hunziker.
On Herkulesplatz, Paradeplatz and Züghusplatz, this measure by Grün Stadt Zürich creates a pleasant atmosphere that invites passers-by to linger. It was wonderful to see how, within hours of installation, all the seating was taken by the public.
The temporary trees – including hornbeams, lindens, elms, magnolias, ironwood and tulip trees – provide a green oasis in the middle of the urban centre for around three months. In November, they will be moved on to their final planting location.
BURRI was not only responsible for the production of the seating and lounging elements, but also developed the innovative pedestals in collaboration with Lüscher Gartenbau-Baumschule.
