Zen Planters

Rounded, conical, bulbous, flared, curved or ridged in a diamond pattern: in the Zen collection, the shape of the pot matters as much as its color. All are made of textured fiber cement, in a palette of taupe, gray and browns, with a brick red to stand out from the crowd.

The shape guides the foliage

A rounded or bulbous pot holds trailing foliage and balances it with its low mass. A conical profile, narrower at the base, visually elongates an upright plant such as a rubber plant or a sansevieria. The flared model, open like a saucer, accommodates wide arrangements.

A palette that layers

Taupe, gray and the two browns blend into a light wall and keep the green in the foreground. The brick red with diamonds does the opposite: it becomes the pop of color in an understated room, so it is best kept for a single pot.

Grouping in odd numbers

Three pots of different heights, grouped on the floor in a corner, look better than two identical pots on either side of a piece of furniture. Take a large model for structure, a medium one as the link and a small one placed in front. The shared texture of the material is enough to hold the group together, even when the shapes differ.

Frequently asked questions

What size Zen planter should I choose?

Measure the height and diameter of your plant's original plastic pot, then add two centimeters of clearance. This gives you the minimum useful diameter.

Does a small size suit a windowsill?

Yes, the lowest models sit on a shelf or a sill, provided the surface is flat and deep enough. Slip a felt pad under the base so it does not mark the surface.

Does the texture collect dust?

The grain of the fiber cement holds a little dust in its hollows. A dry, soft-bristled brush, run in the direction of the ridges, is enough to remove it.
