Parklets

Activate your street! Parking people in public places.

The installation of a parklet aids in the establishment of a walkable city. It encourages pedestrian activity and helps to create a sense of community and social inclusion.

A parklet is an asset for the wider local community as well as the surrounding businesses. It creates a vibrant space for social interaction.

The Artforms Parklet is pre-fabricated in our Perth workshops. It is a modular design which can be adapted to both size and budget. The parklet can be adjusted to individual site dimensions and conditions. Parklets owners can mix and match design options such as material and shading choices.

Artforms offers optional seating, planters, screens and trellis, bike parking and dog ties. There is no minimum order for optional extras – pay for exactly what you need.

Our Parklets are made from durable materials, designed to last in the Australian climate. They combine strength and beauty. The durable framework means that maintenance is minimal. The parklet can be moved between sites if required.

As part of our sustainability policy, the Artforms Parklet contains NO PLASTIC. All materials are 100% recyclable and vandal resistant. Their durability adds to the level of sustainability.

The Artforms Parklet has adjustable feet so that it can adapt to uneven surfaces. The feet adjust the platform height to create a flush transition with the curb. This reduces the chance of tripping hazards and provides easy access for wheelchair users and prams. Should the site require them, chequer-plate bridging plates are also available. The design of the feet ensures that the Artforms Parklet can be moved to a new site and the feet can adjusted to suit.

Our mix and match options include side panels. These can be made from anodised aluminium, timber slats, stainless or corten steel. You can choose the material to suit your surroundings or design aesthetic.

The panels can be laser cut or etched with artwork or business branding. We can collaborate with you to create a style or artwork which would maximize the appeal of your parklet to your local community.

Artforms offers shading options to help reduce UV exposure. Choose from shade sails, umbrellas or shade panels. The shade panels can be adapted to your specific site. Shade panels can be aligned to capture and channel breeze and angled to optimize shade cover. Artforms offers the option of having the panels laser cut to create a filtered light effect.

Artforms Parklets are structurally certified for wind-loading.
