With its soaring, gothic-influenced glass spires, PPG Place has often been called the crown jewel of the Pittsburgh skyline. A major revamp of the complex’s one-acre central plaza included these magnificent custom planters by Forms+Surfaces.

Fabricated entirely from stainless steel, the planters’ invisible welds present a perfectly clean, seamless appearance. The sharply angled brim is an integral part of the welded structure and mirrors the pointed gothic arch elements seen in the surrounding architecture. Designed with the plaza’s holiday celebrations in mind, a conduit built into the planters supplies power for festive lighting. Combined with a new fountain, seasonal ice rink, seating and other amenities, Forms+Surfaces’ planters have helped turn what was once an uninviting space into a focal point for public activities and a powerful symbol of downtown Pittsburgh’s revitalization.
