Custom Metal Tree Bench in Yaletown
Where Function Meets Urban Design
In the vibrant neighborhood of Yaletown, Vancouver, Iron Age Manufacturing Ltd. has crafted and installed a custom circular metal tree bench that redefines how urban furniture can blend form and function.
What was once a simple tree planter has been transformed into an inviting gathering spot — combining architectural craftsmanship, environmental sensitivity, and urban comfort in one seamless design.
Design with Purpose
This project was designed to complement the surrounding urban landscape while maintaining a strong connection to nature. The bench encircles a live tree, creating a harmonious balance between natural elements and human interaction.
The open circular structure provides both protection for the tree base and comfortable seating for pedestrians. It turns an ordinary sidewalk corner into a mini urban plaza, where people can pause, rest, or simply enjoy a moment outdoors.
Craftsmanship and Materials
Each Iron Age product is built to last — and this bench is no exception.
Material: High-grade structural steel
Finish: Durable powder coating for maximum weather resistance
Design: Precision-engineered frame for stability and longevity
The entire piece is locally fabricated in Vancouver, ensuring superior craftsmanship and a reduced environmental footprint through local production. Every weld, curve, and joint is purposefully designed to merge strength with aesthetic minimalism — a hallmark of Iron Age’s design philosophy.
Beyond Functionality: Urban Aesthetics
Modern cities demand design solutions that are both beautiful and purposeful.
This project demonstrates how architectural metalwork can enhance public spaces without overwhelming them — providing usability, protection, and style in one cohesive form.
The black powder-coated finish gives it a sleek, timeless character that fits perfectly into Yaletown’s mix of heritage and modern buildings. It’s not just a bench — it’s a sculptural element that elevates the public realm.
A Vision for Public Spaces
At Iron Age Manufacturing, we believe in creating metalwork that tells a story — one that reflects the city’s rhythm and the people who live in it.
From benches and planters to architectural gates, railings, and custom metal features, every Iron Age creation is tailored to the project’s unique needs and the architect’s design vision.
Our mission is simple: to turn metal into meaningful design — functional, elegant, and built to endure.
