34th St. Streetscape, New York NY

Designer: Ignacio Ciocchini, 34th St. Partnership

The 34th St. Partnership, a business improvement district in Manhattan, was replacing a large number of concrete planters. Despite the heavy-duty nature of the concrete, keeping them looking good required too much maintenance. They designed a unique fiberglass planter, but were open to other options. Using a custom-formulated matrix finish, Planter Technology was able to get the NYC Art Commission to approve a more durable polyethylene material. We provided them with more than 450 planters, which have performed beyond the partnership's expectations. The logo was set into two panels of the planters, and hand-colored to achieve the distinctive look.
