IOTA’s Boulevard KYOTO and QUADRA planters were selected as part of the remodelling of the glazed terrace of Restaurant Level 5, which has unrivalled views over Covent Garden piazza.

The planting scheme was created and installed by the multi award-winning Design Studio and Landscaping team at Rosebank Landscaping.

Overall 33 planters were supplied for the project, selected from KYOTO and QUADRA stock designs in RAL 7016 [Anthracite grey] colour.

Boulevard planters are a range of high-performance composite planters made from a proprietary form of Fibre Reinforced Cement [FRC]. All Boulevard planters possess an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for a wide range of environments – from weight-restricted areas, to interiors, to public spaces and streetscapes.
