A universal public-space fixture comprising a series of at least two nested, inverted U-shaped forms (10a and 10b) of decreasing height set around a common vertical axis. Each U-shaped form has an upper transverse portion (12) and two parallel, vertical legs (14) extending from the upper transverse portion (12). The fixture further comprises at least one center joining plate (20) located below the upper transverse portions (12) of the forms (10a and 10B) and being substantially perpendicular to the forms, for joining the U-shaped forms (10a and 10b) together as a unit, the forms being fastened to the at least one center joining plate (20). The fixture can also include an anchor plate (24) attached to the forms at or adjacent their bottom, for anchoring the forms to a support surface. The fixture can be used in a system comprising at least one other universal public-space fixture and/or at least one site amenity (for example, seating, lighting, signage, a shelter, a trash can receptacle, and an ash urn), wherein the at least one site amenity is associated with the at least one other universal public-space fixture, for example by being attached thereto. |
