Vestre presents urban furniture designs that act as "sustainable and inclusive meeting places"
Norwegian street furniture brand Vestre is showcasing the Code planter and the bench system Stones as part of the Dezeen x Planted collaboration during this year's London Design Festival.
Both of Vestre's designs are modular, with the cuboid steel planter forming part of the wider Code system, which includes two different angular, wood-topped bench units.
These can be stacked together vertically and horizontally like building blocks to create different furniture configurations and can be connected by a single sheet of bent steel to form a picnic table.

The simple geometry of the matching planter is designed to fill the empty spaces in between while integrating more greenery into urban spaces. It is available in two different sizes ? a shorter version that has space for smaller plants and 250 litres of soil and a larger, 500-litre version that can accommodate small trees.
The Stones system offers a softer, more rotund look, with three bench modules of different sizes perched on stubby, cylindrical feet.
Each features gently rounded corners and comes in two different heights so they can be combined to form an undulating seating landscape, reminiscent of a Japanese stone garden.
The Stones system can also be used indoors
Perched on top of the steel body, the seat is made from Nordic pine wood that has either been proofed with linseed oil or Kebonis...
