A large part of our Collection consists of products with FSC hardwood seats or beams. We have added four alternative materials to our range, so it is now possible to choose between FSC hardwood or a biobased or recycled ‘twin material’ for each beam size in the collection. Although the technical properties of these materials are equivalent to those of FSC hardwood, their colours, textures and histories are completely different. While TWIN offers landscape architects more freedom of choice, choosing a TWIN material also contributes to the reduction of waste flows. It also means that our...

Sustainable Design Innovation and creativity are the cornerstones of progress. At a time when we need to drastically reform our impact on the environment, sustainability must be a guiding and integral part of the creation process. Our street furniture has a timeless, natural quality and is of a high standard, both aesthetically and technically. We not only strive to reduce the amount of maintenance required by selecting the right design and materials but also aim to extend the lifespan of our products. Our starting points for design are therefore modularity, responsible material choices and...

Sustainable Design Sustainable Collection Sustainability is at the heart of the Streetlife Collection. We use simple but elegant modular building blocks with long lifespans and choose materials sourced fairly and responsibly to minimise the impact on the environment. Moreover, our design team develops ingenious solutions to improve the longevity of Streetlife products. At the same time, we are also increasingly focusing on recyclates and the preservation of components and raw materials in the chain. All these conscious design decisions make a significant contribution to product...

Sustainable Materials Lava Grey 4 TWIN Materials Each of the seven product families in the Streetlife Collection has its own specific beam size. The beams are traditionally made of FSC hardwood, but we have now introduced four non-wood sustainable materials. With the launch of our TWIN concept, we can now offer an alternative to wood for every beam size. By adding this new identity to our product families, TWIN offers landscape designers and architects more freedom of choice. Lava Grey is made entirely from recycled household plastic waste, such as packaging, cups, bags and trays. It...

Sustainable Materials Sustainable Materials Plastic Recyclates & Biobased Materials Plastic recyclates Three of our TWIN materials can be labelled as plastic recyclates: Lava Grey, All Black and Cloudy Grey. For some time now, Streetlife has been using a variety of recycled materials as a fully-fledged alternative to hardwood beams or ‘virgin’ plastic. Recycling contributes to stemming the growth of the waste mountain and reduces the amount of material incinerated for energy or used as landfill.

Sustainable Materials CorTen Steel FSC Wood: New, Recycled & Preserved Plastic Recyclates & Biobased Materials CorTen Steel Smart Sustainable Solutions Urban Greening CorTen, a low alloy steel which constitutes chrome, copper and nickel, creates a warm and natural look in public spaces. A dense, tight protective layer of rust forms on the surface of the steel, which then requires no further maintenance. It takes one to three years before the oxidation process stabilises and the final red-brown colour of CorTen becomes visible. After oxidation, the material will not stain on light-coloured...

Sustainable Materials Smart Sustainable Solutions FSC Wood: New, Recycled & Preserved Plastic Recyclates & Biobased Materials CorTen Steel Smart Sustainable Solutions Urban Greening By standardising applied beam sizes, we not only ensure coherence in the Streetlife Collection but also optimise production processes and reduce residual waste. Our modular elements are designed in a way that affords urban planners and landscape architects the freedom to detail a project according to their own wishes and create an integrated design. Streetlife’s standard solutions are therefore ideally suited to...

Sustainable Materials Urban Greening FSC Wood: New, Recycled & Preserved Plastic Recyclates & Biobased Materials CorTen Steel Smart Sustainable Solutions Urban Greening It is vitally important to integrate greenery into urban spaces if we are to create future-proof cities. After decades of bricks and mortar taking over, we are now realising that green spaces provide city dwellers with various benefits. Street furniture plays a key role. For instance, mobile benches with planters add greenery to pavements and green tree isles serve to break up stretches of concrete. At the same time,...

Streetlife Collection The Streetlife Collection is updated every two years. Our R&D team designs the Collection under the direction of Peter Krouwel.

Many are flexibly designed, which affords landscape architects and urban planners a high level of freedom to customise and incorporate the products into their plans. There are eight categories in the Streetlife Collection, from benches and bridges to green products and tree grilles and...
