City life rarely offers a chance to pause. Surrounded by traffic, concrete, and constant noise, it can be hard to catch your breath. A green oasis in the middle of the noise brings calm, softens sound, offers shade, and adds life to the urban landscape. Urban green furniture is more than just a place to sit, it’s a moment of respite.
What is urban green furniture?
Urban green furniture refers to urban furniture where plants, design, and functionality come together. It’s not just a bench with a flower box attached, but a complete solution designed to work in harmony with its surroundings and users.
Modular green furniture makes it possible to create places of rest and respite in already built environments. They offer food and shelter for pollinators, reduce noise, provide shade during hot summer days, and add visual privacy. These flexible solutions bring fresh greenery, rhythm, and a sense of calm to the urban landscape
Our green furniture can be placed both outdoors and indoors. Thanks to their modular design, they can be easily assembled, relocated, and tailored to suit different spaces and changing needs. You can choose greenery as a service, which allows for seasonal plant updates and changes to the modules based on how the furniture is used. We take care of everything including winter storage.
Why does urban green furniture matter?
Good urban planning isn’t just about traffic flow and the placement of buildings, it also considers livability, wellbeing, and biodiversity. In dense city environments, creating new green spaces isn’t always possible. Urban green furniture solutions offer an easy way to bring nature to urban areas, supporting both comfort and biodiversity.
With urban green furniture, we can increase biodiversity even on a small scale and bring greenery to places where there traditionally wouldn’t be space for it. The visually striking elements invite people to pause and strengthen a sense of community.

How to choose green interior solutions and plant care more sustainably? At first glance, choosing indoor greenery might seem straightforward. Which plants should we pick, and where should we place them? And where can we get them at the lowest cost? A low price can be tempting, and comparing quotes is always worthwhile. But when an interior green solution is viewed as a long-term investment, the cheapest option can quickly generate unexpected costs. Here’s what truly goes into the price of high-quality, sustainable green interiors.
In the spring of 2025, Finland’s largest outdoor green wall was completed on the façade of Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt’s property in Turku. The 16-meter-high vertical garden is the first in the country to utilize stormwater for irrigation. It has attracted attention for both its impressive scale and innovative technology. But how are the wall, its plants, and its irrigation system doing after their first growing season?
