PLANTER - Cube
The Cube Planter is a medium pot made of mortar designed to look like a miniature building. Admire the multi-coloured windows that shimmer in the light and the beautifully uneven surface along the top edges. There is a drainage hole to drain excess water from the planter.
By planting and growing plants in the Cube Planter, the texture of the mortar will deepen with natural effects of the elements - heat, rain, soil, time. Cracks may appear on the main body and glass, but please enjoy it as an appeal of the object. There are chips and bubbles in the mortar, but please enjoy it as the texture of the work. It's a deeply considered and incredibly charming object to make home for your favourite plant.
*Plants are not included.
