Product catalog summary
Introduction to the TWIN Concept
The TWIN concept by Streetlife introduces sustainable alternatives to FSC hardwood, offering four materials with similar technical properties but different aesthetics. This concept enhances design flexibility and promotes sustainability by reducing waste and extending product lifespan.
Sustainable Design
Streetlife focuses on sustainability through modular designs and responsibly sourced materials, aligning with Cradle2Cradle and circular economy principles. The TWIN concept incorporates biobased and recycled materials as alternatives to traditional hardwood.
Sustainable Collection
The collection includes seven product families traditionally using FSC hardwood. The TWIN concept provides non-wood sustainable materials, offering more design options with reduced ecological impact.
4 TWIN Materials
- Lava Grey: Recycled household plastic waste with a rough texture.
- Cloudy Grey: Recycled plastic and textile waste with a marbled look.
- All Black: Industrial and household waste plastic with a matt black finish.
- Bamboo Brown: Fast-growing bamboo, carbon neutral and recyclable.
FSC Wood: New, Recycled & Preserved
Streetlife uses FSC certified wood, including recycled and preserved types like Accoya and W-Wood, enhancing durability and sustainability.
Biobased Materials
Biobased materials reduce CO2 emissions and fossil resource use, offering aesthetic and functional benefits in products like benches and decking.
Plastic Recyclates & Biobased Materials
Recycled materials like Lava Grey, All Black, and Cloudy Grey reduce waste. Waste Grey, used in tree tubs, combines recycled and virgin materials for strength.
CorTen Steel
CorTen steel forms a protective rust layer, requiring no maintenance and providing a natural look, used in products like tree tubs and benches.
Smart Sustainable Solutions
Streetlife uses low-maintenance materials like untreated FSC hardwood and CorTen steel, with modular designs for customization and longevity.
Urban Greening
Streetlife integrates greenery into urban spaces with solutions like mobile benches with planters and rooftop gardens, enhancing biodiversity and climate.
Product Categories
The collection includes eight categories, updated biennially, allowing customization by urban planners.

TWIN concept-3

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 products...

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 smart...

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 sustainability...

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 consists...

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 surfaces....

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, rooftops...
