ONTIGO 20
Curved recycled plastic bench with back and integrated planter
The ONTIGO 20 planter series combines design, functionality, and sustainability in a unique and compelling way. Each 3D-printed body is made from 100% recycled industrial plastic film, reinforced with glass fiber, and paired with precisely crafted stainless steel elements – delivering maximum stability, exceptional durability, and a premium architectural presence. These planters are equally suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces, integrating seamlessly into modern interior and landscape designs.
All variants feature an integrated overflow system, which reliably prevents waterlogging and helps maintain healthy plant growth over time. Their thoughtful construction allows for easy transport using a forklift or pallet jack – no crane or special logistics required. This makes ONTIGO 20 ideal for temporary greenery concepts, seasonal arrangements, or flexible spatial configurations.
The textured, matte surface finish not only provides a refined, velvety tactile experience, but also creates a captivating play of light and shadow that changes with the angle of illumination.
The glass fiber-reinforced material used is vandal-resistant, weatherproof, and UV-stable – engineered for demanding applications in public spaces, high-traffic areas, and anywhere design must meet resilience.
ONTIGO 20 is available in three understated base colors: White, Anthracite, and Mottled Grey. For outdoor use, Mottled Grey is especially recommended – its subtle color variation helps conceal dirt and enhances the already resistant surface. The stainless steel components can be custom-finished in over 8,500 colors, including all standard systems such as RAL, NCS, or Pantone, offering maximum design flexibility.
Whether in hotel lobbies, city centers, healthcare facilities, entrance areas, or on rooftop terraces – ONTIGO 20 defines space and sets the tone. For all the places where architecture comes to life.
Available with and without seats.

With the ONTIGO 20 series, BENKERT BÄNKE presents a new generation of planters that go far beyond simple greenery: they are design objects, spatial organizers, and communicative focal points – suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Manufactured using a 3D printing process from 100% recycled industrial plastic film, reinforced with glass fiber, and combined with precisely crafted stainless steel elements, these planters merge maximum design freedom with technical precision. Each piece features an organic form language and has a sculptural presence – whether placed individually or in combination.
Versatility is a defining principle: ONTIGO 20 is available in a range of sizes – from compact planters for interiors to large-format vessels for prestigious outdoor spaces. Upon request, the planters can be equipped with integrated seating surfaces, creating places for rest, interaction, and community.
All versions are designed for easy handling with a forklift or pallet jack – no cranes, no special logistics required. Perfect for temporary installations, seasonal greenery, or flexible spatial design.
The glass-fiber-reinforced material is extremely durable, vandal-resistant, weatherproof, and UV-stable – ideal for long-term use even in high-traffic public areas. The textured, matte surface creates a dynamic play of light and maintains a clean look over time thanks to its natural self-cleaning effect.
ONTIGO 20 is available in three standard colors: White, Anthracite, and Mixed Grey. For outdoor applications, Mixed Grey is particularly recommended. Stainless steel components can be custom-finished in over 8,500 color shades, including all common architectural standards such as RAL, NCS, or Pantone.
Whether in hotel lobbies, city centers, healthcare facilities, or on rooftop terraces – ONTIGO 20 planters define space and shape atmosphere.
Some pieces of furniture don’t just impress through their design – they tell stories. The ONTIGO series is such a statement: a tribute to contemporary urban furniture, to innovative manufacturing, and to a future in which aesthetics and sustainability go hand in hand.
For over 40 years, BENKERT BÄNKE has stood for durable stainless steel urban furniture – crafted with the highest precision, built for generations. With the new ONTIGO series, we are opening a visionary new chapter: design objects that are not only functional and robust but also make a strong statement for sustainable innovation.
What makes ONTIGO truly unique is not just its distinctive design language, but above all the material and expertise behind it: the modular furniture series is produced using a 3D printing process and made from 100% recycled industrial plastic film – waste material that would otherwise remain unused is given new purpose. Reinforced with glass fiber, the result is a highly stable, weather-resistant, and long-lasting material. In combination with precisely manufactured stainless steel components, we fuse this new technology with over 40 years of experience in urban furniture. The result is a series that impresses not only with its aesthetics but also with its durability, functionality, and quality – made for everyday use and built for the future.
This innovative material offers exceptional strength while being surprisingly lightweight. Even large-volume pieces can be moved without the need for heavy equipment – installation is simple and can be carried out by just two people.
The series includes seating elements and planters that integrate seamlessly into both indoor and outdoor spaces – from urban plazas and office buildings to modern lobbies and rooftop terraces. The combination of high-quality stainless steel elements with customized color accents gives ONTIGO a look that is both technically precise and artistically bold.
Each ONTIGO piece is built layer by layer in the 3D printing process – a method that creates not only stability but also a unique aesthetic. The fine lines of each layer create a dynamic play of light and shadow that shifts with the viewer’s perspective. The surface is deliberately matte, giving it a high-end, modern appearance and a surprisingly pleasant tactile feel. ONTIGO invites not only to sit or plant – but to touch, explore, and experience.
The forms are deliberately organic, almost sculptural. They invite people to pause, linger, and marvel.
ONTIGO represents a new generation of urban furniture: resource-conscious in production, thoughtfully designed, and uncompromisingly robust. For people who expect more – and for spaces that are ready to tell their story.
