Velin

A modern D-shaped steel planter with a 250mm internal radius, combining geometric clarity with structural strength. Available across seven heights from 300mm to 1200mm and two footprints, Velin creates striking, low-maintenance planting arrangements for urban realm, courtyards, and terraces.

Designed by Kinley, Made in the UK

The only D-shaped modular planter range in the Kinley collection — its curved end profile softens transitions in hard landscapes where square planters feel too rigid.

Velin’s defining feature is the rounded D-end: a 250mm internal radius that transforms a standard rectangle into a sculptural form. Clean folded-steel construction reads as a single seamless object. Half variants and Light Detail versions extend the family for end-of-run conditions and illuminated schemes.

Footprints of 600mm x 600mm and 1200mm x 600mm with seven heights (300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200mm). 3mm steel in CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. Delivered flat-packed with concealed fixings, gasket tape, and M10 anchor bolts. 100% recyclable. UK-manufactured to BS EN 9001.

Variants

Velin Small Half Light Detail (LD)

Velin Small Half LD ensures continuity of illumination at the ends of a lit Velin run. The integrated LED lighting in the standard LD planters continues through the curved D-end of the half-unit, so the run terminates with a lit curve rather than an unlit cap.

LD configuration of the Velin Small Half in left- and right-handed orientations. 3mm steel construction with 250mm internal D-end radius. CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. LED specification confirmed at order stage. Made in the UK.

  • LD half-unit with curved D-end illuminated
  • Left- and right-handed configurations for either end of a run
  • Ensures continuity of illumination at lit Velin terminations
  • Same D-end geometry as standard Velin
  • LD configuration of Velin Small Half
  • 3mm steel construction
  • Compatible with standard Velin LD heights and finishes
  • External LED driver requirement confirmed per project

Velin Small Half (Left and Right)

Velin Small Half units take the rounded D-end of the standard planter and pair it with a shorter body, creating a deliberate planted terminus to a Velin run. Available in left-handed (L) and right-handed (R) configurations so the curve always faces outward, regardless of which end of the run it sits on.

Half-unit variant of the standard Velin in left- and right-handed configurations. 3mm steel construction with 250mm internal D-end radius. Available across Velin heights and finishes. Designed and manufactured in the UK to BS EN 9001.

  • Half-unit Velin with the rounded D-end intact
  • Left-handed (L) and right-handed (R) configurations available
  • Sympathetic terminations to Velin runs
  • Same 250mm radius and steel detailing as the standard unit
  • 3mm steel construction
  • Available in CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes
  • Compatible with standard Velin heights
  • Designed and manufactured in the UK

Velin XL Light Detail (LD)

Velin XL LD pairs the extended XL footprint with integrated low-level LED lighting along its length. The longer light wash makes a more dramatic evening statement than the standard LD variant, suiting hero positions in larger public realm schemes.

Extended XL footprint with concealed LED lighting along the length of the planter. Available across all Velin heights (300mm to 1200mm). 3mm steel in CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. LED specification confirmed at order stage. Made in the UK.

  • Combines extended XL footprint with integrated LED lighting
  • Longer light wash for major route and feature positions
  • No visible fittings — illumination reads as part of the planter
  • CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes
  • Available across all Velin heights
  • 3mm steel construction; reinforced footplate
  • External LED driver requirement confirmed per project
  • Made in the UK to BS EN 9001

Velin XL

Velin XL extends the body of the D-shape planter while preserving the 250mm radius D-end and folded steel construction. The result is a more prominent linear element — useful for defining the edge of a long route, anchoring a wider planting bed, or creating impact at hero positions in the scheme.

Extended footprint (dimensions to be confirmed) with the same 250mm internal D-end radius. Available in all seven Velin heights (300mm to 1200mm). 3mm steel in CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. Designed and manufactured in the UK to BS EN 9001.

  • Extended footprint over the standard Velin
  • Same 250mm radius D-end geometry
  • Anchors longer routes and wider planting beds
  • CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes
  • Seven height options from 300mm to 1200mm
  • 3mm steel construction; reinforced footplate
  • Class 1A fire-rated; 100% recyclable steel
  • Designed and manufactured in the UK to BS EN 9001

Velin Light Detail (LD)

Velin LD integrates concealed LED lighting into the standard D-shape planter form. By day the planter reads as the familiar Velin silhouette; by night, soft light grazes the surrounding ground, defining the curved D-end and creating a layered visual effect across a run of planters.

Available across the standard Velin range — both footprints (600mm and 1200mm) and all seven heights (300mm to 1200mm). CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. LED specification (lumen output, colour temperature, IP rating) confirmed at order stage. Made in the UK.

  • Concealed LED lighting integrated into the D-shape form
  • Soft downward light wash defines the curved silhouette
  • No visible fittings — illumination reads as part of the planter
  • Coordinates with other Kinley LD products for scheme-wide lighting
  • Available in both footprints and all heights of the standard Velin range
  • CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes
  • External LED driver requirement confirmed per project
  • 3mm steel construction; flat-packed delivery

Velin Standard

Velin Standard combines a straight end with a 250mm radius D-end in a single folded steel form. Specify in a row to create rhythmic alternation, back-to-back to form lozenges, or singly as a feature where the rounded end resolves a corner condition.

Footprints of 600mm x 600mm and 1200mm x 600mm. Seven height options (300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200mm). 3mm steel construction with 100mm footplate (heights up to 600mm) or 300mm footplate (800mm+). 250mm internal curve radius. CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes.

  • 250mm internal radius creates the signature D-end
  • One straight end and one rounded end per unit
  • Two footprint options (600mm and 1200mm)
  • CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes
  • Seven heights from 300mm to 1200mm
