Arbory

Climbing support

Design Martin Brattström

With advantages such as increased diversity, evergreen presence, faster growth, reduced soil volume, and an aesthetic addition to the urban landscape, Arbory is a viable alternative to a tree in many locations where circumstances may be limiting. The ecosystem services provided by a traditional tree, such as shade, cooling, air purification, and noise reduction, naturally come with it. On Arbory, plants climb on steel wires attached to a steel structure that is anchored in the ground.

Materials and surface treatments

Steel

Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. 

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is an iron alloy with at least 10.5% chromium that often has good resistance to corrosion (rust) and other chemical attacks. A common misconception about stainless steel is that it does not rust at all; it can in fact corrode, especially in environments near the sea with high humidity.

Zinc powder primer

It´s a thermosetting epoxy powder coating primer that can be applied on several type of metal substrates such as aluminium, steel or galvanised steel. This primer has a robust curing window, allowing excellent inter coat adhesion in direct fired ovens and gives very good edge coverage and superior corrosion protection.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.

Assembly and placement

In-ground

Cast in ground.

In-ground, cast into the ground. Alternatively freestanding by mounting on Parklet.

Maintenance

The components that are made in stainless steel and requires no maintenance.

Powdercoated steel

Products that are powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.

Martin Brattström

Martin Brattström is a landscape architect working at Edge. During his education at SLU Alnarp, he wrote his thesis titled “Three-Dimensional Climbing Plants”, which was awarded SLU's innovation prize. This led to the creation of the Arbory plant support system, which became his first product produced by Nola
