concrete planters

 design  concept 

These designs were inspired by modernist architecture and civil engineering - buildings and structures such as grain silos, dams and bridges of the 1950s and 60s. The abstract, geometrical forms of the period are interpreted through textured relief panels on two or four sides of the containers.

The cast collection of concrete planters comprises two distinct ranges -
the modernist collection and the baroque collection.
Planters are individually cast in frost-proof concrete. They are available in off-white or dark grey.

commissions
Planters can be commissioned to specification for anything from small residential projects to large commercial developments.

     These designs retain the flat surfaces of the modernist collection, 
    but introduce indented 'baroque' elements such as the voluptuous 
                 swag and drop, curls and fruit and garland details found in 
  18th century sculpted facades. The 'damask planter' interprets 
   classic flock wallpaper in three dimensions, which becomesquite 
          monumental when rendered in hardcore concrete.

about ordering the planters: sadly, after a long-term relationship with the manufacturers of my planters, they are no longer able to make them for me so I am not able to supply them at the moment. Finding good manufacturers is never easy and I'm not sure when they will be
available again.     However, I'd be happy to hear from any manufacturer who would like to go into partnership to produce these very
popular designs!
