Mobile or fixed, CSM’s planter boxes can even double as seating
April 1st, 2013
“If you want to be happy for a year,” goes the old English proverb, “plant a garden.” “If you want to be happy for life,” it continues, “plant a tree.” Never could one have imagined that such a proverb would have such profound resonance for the modern workplace. But as Australian company CSM know, old proverbs should never be laughed away.

With the launch of their new Oxy Planter Box, CSM Furniture Solutions has delivered a seamless integration of plant features into the modern workplace. CSM’s planter boxes are waterproofed, and their flexible construction allows them to be fitted with castors for mobility, or featured as freestanding units.

A multifunctional object, the Oxy Planter box can also be used as a seat in your reception and breakout areas, or integrated into your existing CSM cabinetry. It adds dimension to your workspace – green and refreshing – but takes up little space. Available in a wide variety of sizes and colour, these planter boxes are an easy solution to your design and storage needs. But perhaps more important is the positive impact these Oxy Planter Boxes will have on your workplace.

Supporting green star initiatives, CSM have created a product that is both functional in its storage solution, and innovative in its design and belief. Offering a fresh style to any office, these versatile planter boxes are the silent winners of the new work place model. And for good reason. As the urban environment continues to expand, a little piece of green paradise can go a long way in your working day.
