Black medium Bhaca planter – Indigenus

 

Indigenous, ZA

 

Indigenus founder Peter van der Post, a committed design entrepreneur, decided in 1914 to create well-designed contemporary planters which would elevate architectural spaces and landscapes through collaboration with innovative designers, artists and architects in South Africa.

van Heerden’s design celebrates the stone-like appearance of reinforced concrete and in various progressions the design contrasts with organic elements in wood and cork.

Indigenus ‘Steen’ Planters dsigned by Stefan Antoni and Greg Truen at SAOTA

Steen planters are made from glass, and reinforced concrete, which makes for a lighter and stronger solution than regular concrete. Each design spends two days in a high quality mould and then being hand buffed, resulting in a suede-like finish. The Steen is designed as a mid point between a sculptural art object and functional planter. Stefan and Greg’s design is inspired by the distinctive, jutting granite boulders found along the Cape Town coast and are effective as a stand alone planter or when grouped together. A primary consideration was that they had the appearance of attractive sculptures even before they were used as planters with plants.

Atelier Vierkant, Belgium

 

O-series planters – Atelier Vierkant, Belgium

 

Established in 1992, Atelier Vierkant is a family business run by the Janssen Family, Annette and Willy and their two sons Ward and Dries. They have a studio in the Flanders region of Belgium and all the planters are made using moulds and are still hand carved and sculpted by a team of around 20 master craftspeople.
Atelier planters are categorised as generational planters and not just pots. The difference is these planters will last a lifetime and are not just mass-produced. Atelier Vierkant offers a range of eight clay bodies, colored in the mass with natural oxides. They offer chromatic consistency, durability and resistance to continuous exposure to uv rays, humidity and frost. There is no strong association with any particular design period which makes them an ideal element in a timeless setting. They are adaptable pieces for the home, garden, architectural settings and the business environment. Their large distinct forms, earthy tactility, organic textures and tones go beyond their functions as planters and decorative accents to become architectural elements and sculptures of art.
