Crossed planter.

The Crossed planter, designed by Stéphane Chapelet, draws inspiration from the branches on the facade of Toyo Ito's Tod's building in Tokyo. It brings greenery into the city with an original, organic design.

Inspired by Toyo Ito's Tod's building

Its openwork pattern is inspired by the branches that shape the facade of the Tod's Omotesando building in Tokyo, designed by Toyo Ito, one of the studio's reference architects.

Shadows that draw branches

Light passing through the planter casts shadows that draw branches around the plants, changing throughout the day.

Laser-cut, folded steel

The planter is made from a steel sheet, powder-coated or corten, that is laser-cut and then folded. This streamlined process blends industrial innovation and organic elegance, with few manufacturing steps.

A family for complete designs

With the Crossed bench, seat, bin and bollards, the planter makes it possible to furnish an entire site in a single design language. The iGuzzini headquarters in Barcelona was designed with the full Crossed collection, and Hilton hotels in Canada, including the Hilton Lac-Leamy, chose it for their outdoor spaces.

Made in Italy

The Crossed planter is made in Italy by Lab23® and sold in Spain in partnership with iGuzzini®.

Lab23, an Italian manufacturer, makes street furniture in Italy from steel, Corten, wood and Hypergranite. It shows the studio's designs alongside those of Zaha Hadid, at Milan's Fuorisalone and in the specialist press.

This model belongs to the Crossed range, to which the Spanish magazine Diseño de la Ciudad devoted three pages (issue 82, June 2012).
